Urdu uses Arabic 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. Urdu reads right-to-left while Kannada reads left-to-right, so the direction of the text flips during translation.
Urdu belongs to the Indo-European 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.
Both languages follow subject-object-verb (SOV) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Urdu: Approximately 230 million people speak Urdu as a first or second language. Kannada: Approximately 50 million speakers, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in India.
