Malay uses Latin while Kannada uses Kannada. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Malay belongs to the Austronesian family while Kannada belongs to the Dravidian family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Malay follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order while Kannada follows subject-object-verb (SOV). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
Malay: Approximately 290 million speakers, including those who speak Indonesian as a standardized form of Malay, making it one of the most spoken languages in the world. Kannada: Approximately 50 million speakers, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in India.
