Reading the Nepali you paste
- Script
- Devanagari, the same script as Hindi.
- Numbers
- Devanagari digits are common in Nepal, including on official documents.
- Mixed text
- Speech mixes in English and Hindi words, especially in cities.
- Names
- Surnames often show the community (Shrestha, Gurung, Thapa).
From Nepali to English
- Politeness
- Nepali has tapai (respectful), timi (familiar) and ta (very close); hajur for the most respect; English has a single "you", so the translation carries politeness with words like "please", "sir" or "ma'am".
- Sentence order
- Nepali puts the verb at the end and English puts the verb after the subject, so sentences are rebuilt, not swapped word for word.
- Where it comes from
- Nepali is spoken in Nepal, Sikkim and Darjeeling.
Example
You paste (Nepali):
बैंक शाखा शुक्रबार बन्द हुनेछ। तपाईं अझै पनि ATM र मोबाइल एप प्रयोग गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ।
You read (English):
The bank branch will be closed on Friday. You can still use the ATM and mobile app.
Example made with our translator from a sample sentence. Machine translation can make mistakes — check names, dates and amounts.

Questions
Is the Nepali to English translator free?
Yes — up to 5,000 characters, 5 times a day, no sign-up.
Are names, dates and amounts kept?
The translator keeps names and figures as they are, but machine translation can slip — check dates and amounts against the original before you send.
Will a polite Nepali message stay polite in English?
It aims to: English has no separate polite "you", so the respect shows in the wording instead. Read it once before you send something important.
Can I paste Nepali typed in Roman letters?
Yes. Nepali typed on a phone in Roman letters, or mixed with English, is translated as a whole into English.
