Reading the Kannada you paste

- Script
- Kannada script, close to Telugu script, written left to right.
- Numbers
- Kannada digits exist, but 0–9 is used in daily writing.

What you get in Telugu
- Saying "you"
- Telugu has meeru (respectful or plural) and nuvvu (familiar). The translation follows the tone of what you paste.

- Script
- Telugu script, written left to right, with rounded letters.
- Who reads it
- Telugu is spoken in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Example
You paste (Kannada):
ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ ಸೋಮವಾರ ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ರಜೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಮಂಗಳವಾರದಿಂದ ತರಗತಿಗಳು ಪುನರಾರಂಭಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತವೆ.

Are names, dates and amounts kept?
