Transliteration vs Translation — Understanding the Difference
Many users confuse transliteration with translation. Here's a clear breakdown:
Transliteration (This Tool)
Converts the script based on pronunciation. Typing "amar nam Rahul" produces আমার নাম রাহুল. The meaning stays the same — only the script changes from Roman to Bengali.
Translation
Converts the meaning from one language to another. Typing "My name is Rahul" in a translation tool gives আমার নাম রাহুল. The language itself changes — from English to Bengali.
