About Our Translator Software


Tigrinya (ትግሪኛ) is a semitic language spoken in Eritrea and in Tigray region. It is spoken by over 7 million people around the world.

For those whose first language is not Tigrinya, typing and translating from English to Tigrinya can be challenging. Many websites and agencies provide online and offline translation and interpreting services, but these services can be expensive, and free options often offer poor or unreliable translations.

While it makes sense to hire professionals for translating specialized subjects and official documents, there is no need to pay for translating commonly used words and phrases. For this purpose, our online software can be used.

Our translation software provides high-quality translation results for free, as it uses Google’s powerful translation API to instantly translate sentences between English and Tigrinya. You can use our tool to translate up to 1500 characters per request—and the good news is, you can make unlimited requests.

Though the translation result may not always be 100% accurate, it can be quite accurate with a few modifications. We have also integrated Google’s Input Tool, which allows you to easily edit or modify the translated Tigrinya text. Additionally, our software is continuously evolving, and we hope it will soon produce near-perfect translations.

Our tool also allows you to download or copy the translated text, making it easy to share on social media or use in word processing software (such as Microsoft Word) for further formatting.

If you have suggestions for improving our English to Tigrinya translation, please let us know on our Facebook page.

Finally, we would appreciate it if you would like and share our page with your friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Transliteration and Translation?

Transliteration is a process of transferring similar-sounding words from one language to another. To give you an example, typing “Englizgna Tzarebdo?“ will be transliterated into “እንግሊዝኛ ትዛረብዶ? “.

Whereas, translation is a process of converting the written word from one language to another. For E.g. converting text written from English to Tigrinya.

How does English to Tigrinya translation works?

Our online translation software uses either Google, Microsoft, or Yandex to translate word, sentence, and phrase from English to Tigrinya.

Whenever you enter words, sentences, or phrases in English and click on the “Translate” button, our software sends a request to Google, Microsoft, or Yandex for translation.

Their backend system uses some of the cutting edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, Web APIs, Big Data, etc to perform high-quality translations, and send back the response in Tigrinya.

All this process just takes a split second.

Can I download this translation software?

At a moment you can only use our Tigrinya translator online.

However, you can download and install Google Translation Chrome extension tool on your Google Chrome browser.

With this, you can either translate the entire page you are browsing by clicking the translation icon on the browser toolbar. Or, you can also highlight and right-click the section of the text, and click on the “Translate” icon to get the translation result in a language you have chosen from the dropdown menu.

Why is the translation not accurate?

Our Tigrinya translation software uses automated machine-language technology provided by Google or Microsoft. As humans are not involved, in some cases it will miss the context and cultural nuances of the language.

Having said so, our translator is useful for those who need help framing the sentence and get a general idea of what the sentence, or phrase is conveying the message. With little modification, you can get near to perfect translation. We have also embedded Tigrinya transliteration, with a help of which you can easily edit, modify or add Tigrinya text.

Furthermore, the Google and Microsoft Translation API is evolving every day and as time goes by the translation result is going to be pretty accurate.

Is it FREE?

Yes. Our translator is 100% free.

However, we have few restrictions in place to ensure that robots or automated software are not abusing our service.

At any time you can translate up to a maximum of 1500 characters per request. But you can make unlimited requests provided that you don’t misuse our software.

How can I translate Tigrinya text on image or picture?

You can use third-party services, such as Yandex to translate words or sentences embedded in images or graphics.

Alternatively, if you are using a smartphone, you can download the Google Translate app that allows you to translate a picture. For this, you need to give Google Translate access to your camera. Once this is done, you can open the Google Translate app and tap on the Camera icon to translate any text on the picture.
