Translating Tagalog to English: what to know

Verb-Initial Word Order Shifts

Tagalog typically follows verb-subject-object order, while English uses subject-verb-object. When translating, you must rearrange sentence components. For example, 'Kumain ang bata ng mansanas' (ate-the-child-apple) becomes 'The child ate an apple.' Pay attention to focus markers like 'ang' and 'ng' to identify the grammatical subject and object correctly.

No Exact Tense System

Tagalog uses aspect markers rather than tenses. The prefixes and infixes indicate completed, incompleted, or contemplated actions, not specific time frames. Context determines whether 'kumain' means 'ate,' 'has eaten,' or 'had eaten.' English requires explicit past, present, or future tense, so you must infer the time reference from surrounding words or situational context when translating.

Linkers and Particle Omission

Tagalog uses linkers like 'na' and 'ng' to connect adjectives, relative clauses, and possessives. These often have no direct English equivalent and should be omitted. 'Magandang babae' becomes 'beautiful woman,' not 'beautiful-linker woman.' Similarly, the marker 'ay' in inverted sentences disappears in English, as English relies on word order rather than particles for grammatical relationships.

Which languages are supported?

44 languages, in any direction — pick source and target above the editor. Popular pairs also have their own pages, like English to Spanish.

What does the “Meaning kept” score mean?

After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and scores how closely the meaning survived (100 = same meaning). Below 90 you'll see a warning — double-check names, numbers and negations. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
