What changes when English becomes Tagalog
Respect is built into the words
Tagalog shows politeness with the particles po and opo. “Thank you” becomes “Salamat po” when speaking to an elder, a customer or a boss. The plural pronouns kayo and ninyo are often used as a polite “you” for one person. English has no direct equivalent, so the “Formal (business email)” tone is useful for letters and messages to older relatives.
The verb usually comes first
A typical Tagalog sentence starts with the verb: “Kumain ang bata” means “The child ate.” A form with ay, as in “Ang bata ay kumain,” follows English word order more closely. It often sounds more formal or written.
One pronoun for he and she
Tagalog uses siya for both “he” and “she.” The gender in an English sentence is often lost in translation. It can only be recovered from context if you translate back to English. Check names and roles when this matters.
English words inside Tagalog
Everyday Tagalog borrows many English words, such as meeting, file or email. Casual speech often mixes the two languages. Clock times often use Spanish-derived numbers, as in “alas-tres ng hapon” for 3 p.m.
Common tasks — English to Tagalog
How do I translate to Tagalog on this page?
Type or paste your English text, or use Dictate to speak it. Choose a Tone if you like, then start the translation. The Tagalog result appears next to your text, ready to copy or hear with Read aloud.
Is English to Filipino the same as English to Tagalog?
Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, is based on Tagalog. In everyday writing the two are largely the same. If you need Filipino, the Tagalog output here will usually fit.
How do I get polite Tagalog with po and opo?
Set Tone to “Formal (business email)” for respectful wording suited to elders, customers or work. Choose “Casual” for friends and family chats. “Match the original” follows the style of your English. You can also click “Show alternatives” to see two or three phrasings in different registers.
Why does the Tagalog translation use siya for both he and she?
Tagalog has one third-person pronoun, siya, for both genders. The translation is correct, but the gender only shows through names or context. If you translate the text back to English, check that he and she come out right.
How long can my text be, and can I open a document?
Each run handles up to 5,000 characters, so split longer texts into parts. You can open a DOCX, ODT, RTF or TXT file, and its text is placed in the editor for translation. Formatting is not kept, and PDFs are not supported; for photos and screenshots, use the "Photo / screenshot" button (the image is sent to be read and is not stored).
Is it safe to translate private messages or work emails?
Your text is sent to an AI model, translated, returned and then discarded. It is not stored and not used for training.
Can I translate from Tagalog back to English?
Yes. Click “Swap languages” to reverse the direction while keeping your text. This also lets you check a translation: after swapping, press Translate to read it back in English.
Can I hear how the Tagalog sounds?
Yes, click “Read aloud” to hear the translation in a browser voice, or an AI voice if your browser has none for Tagalog. There is no separate pronunciation feature, because Tagalog is already written in the Latin alphabet.
Can I translate a photo or a live conversation?
Photos work, but live conversation doesn't: use the «Photo / screenshot» button to translate text from an image (it is sent for reading and not stored). Voice conversation mode is not supported. You can dictate English into the input box with Dictate and have the Tagalog result read aloud.
