English to Telugu translator

English to Telugu translation with మీరు, నువ్వు and గారు in the right places

Paste your English and decide first how the Telugu should speak to the reader. Formal addresses them as మీరు and ends its requests in -ండి (రండి, తీసుకురండి), which is what an HR email, a notice from a landlord or a message to an elder needs. Informal uses నువ్వు and the bare command (రా, తీసుకురా), the way you would text a roommate or a cousin in Hyderabad or Vijayawada. Because the pronoun decides the verb ending, set the register before you translate rather than editing verbs afterwards.

Below are two English to Telugu translations this page produced: an interview invitation from a Hitech City company and a text asking a friend over to watch a cricket match. Both are printed exactly as they came back, followed by what a Telugu reader would notice. The sections after them cover the title problem that 'Ms.' creates, the gap between written Telugu and the Telugu people speak, and the small spelling details that go wrong when Telugu text is pasted and edited.

How do you address someone respectfully in Telugu?

Use మీరు for 'you' and add గారు after the person's name: లక్ష్మి గారు, రమేష్ గారు. Verbs addressed to them take the respectful ending, so 'come' is రండి rather than రా. At the top of a letter the name takes -కి, 'to': లక్ష్మి గారికి. Choose Formal before translating and the translator produces these forms itself.

ప్రియమైన శ్రీమతి లక్ష్మి గారికి, సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ టెస్టర్ పదవికి దరఖాస్తు చేసినందుకు ధన్యవాదాలు. సోమవారం, అక్టోబర్ 12వ తేదీన ఉదయం 11 గంటలకు మా హైటెక్ సిటీ కార్యాలయంలో జరిగే ఇంటర్వ్యూకు మిమ్మల్ని ఆహ్వానిస్తున్నాము. దయచేసి మీ రెజ్యూమే ముద్రిత ప్రతిని మరియు ఫోటో గుర్తింపు పత్రాన్ని తీసుకురండి. ఈ ఇమెయిల్‌కు ప్రత్యుత్తరం పంపి, మీరు అందుబాటులో ఉన్నారో లేదో దయచేసి నిర్ధారించండి.

The salutation is ప్రియమైన శ్రీమతి లక్ష్మి గారికి. గారికి is exactly right for a letter: the respectful గారు plus -కి, 'to'. The problem is శ్రీమతి, the Telugu for Mrs., which normally tells the reader the woman is married. The English said Ms., which does not say either way. If you do not know, drop the title: లక్ష్మి గారికి is polite on its own.
ప్రియమైన is the literal 'Dear'. It is common in Telugu letters, but it is also how you open a letter to family, so it can read as warm for a first message from an employer. A company writing to a candidate it has never met could open with గౌరవనీయులైన, or with the name and గారికి followed by నమస్కారం.
The rest is correct, polite Telugu. The candidate is మిమ్మల్ని, the respectful 'you', both requests end in -ండి (తీసుకురండి, నిర్ధారించండి), and the date and time are written the Telugu way: అక్టోబర్ 12వ తేదీన, 'on the 12th of October', and ఉదయం 11 గంటలకు for 11 am.
The vocabulary is the formal written kind: కార్యాలయం for office, ప్రత్యుత్తరం for reply, ముద్రిత ప్రతి for printed copy. That suits an HR email. Interview and resume stayed as the English loans ఇంటర్వ్యూ and రెజ్యూమే, which is what Telugu job seekers say, and Hitech City was written by sound as హైటెక్ సిటీ.

A text to a friend about watching a match

English40 words

Bro, the match starts at 7:30 tonight. Come to my room, we'll watch it on the big screen. I'll order biryani, you just bring the cool drinks. And don't be late like last time, we missed the first ten overs!

Telugu · Informal29 words

బ్రో, ఈ రాత్రి మ్యాచ్ 7:30కి మొదలవుతుంది. నా రూమ్‌కి రా, పెద్ద స్క్రీన్‌పై కలిసి చూద్దాం. నేను బిర్యానీ ఆర్డర్ చేస్తా, నువ్వు కూల్‌డ్రింక్స్ మాత్రమే తీసుకురా. గతసారిలా ఆలస్యం చేయకు, మొదటి పది ఓవర్లు మిస్ అయ్యాం!

Translated by this tool on 30 September 2026 and printed unedited.

This reads like a text between friends. నువ్వు, the bare commands రా and తీసుకురా, the clipped చేస్తా instead of చేస్తాను, and చూద్దాం for 'let's watch' are how Telugu speakers type to each other. Bro stayed as బ్రో, which is what the English said and what many Telugu friends write anyway.
A few words are more bookish than the rest of the message. స్క్రీన్‌పై uses the written postposition -పై where speech says స్క్రీన్ మీద, and గతసారిలా, 'like the previous time', would usually be పోయినసారి లాగా in a chat.
'You just bring the cool drinks' became నువ్వు కూల్‌డ్రింక్స్ మాత్రమే తీసుకురా. మాత్రమే means 'only', so the line is accurate, but a friend would more likely write కూల్‌డ్రింక్స్ తెస్తే చాలు, 'bringing the cool drinks is enough'.
Cricket and food words came through as the loans people use: మ్యాచ్, ఓవర్లు, బిర్యానీ, ఆర్డర్. మిస్ అయ్యాం for 'we missed' is the everyday mixed form rather than a pure Telugu verb, which fits the tone. The translator also added కలిసి, 'together', which the English implied but did not say.

మీరు or నువ్వు: the first choice in English to Telugu translation

English uses one 'you' for your manager and your younger brother. Telugu makes you choose. మీరు is respectful, and it is also the plural, so it works for one elder or for a room full of people. నువ్వు is for friends, siblings, younger people and anyone who uses it with you. Written Telugu addressed to the public, whether an email, a form or a notice, uses మీరు throughout.

The choice runs through the grammar, not just the pronoun. Here is the same English in both registers; the verb changes every time.

English	Formal (మీరు)	Informal (నువ్వు)
Come here.	ఇక్కడికి రండి.	ఇక్కడికి రా.
Bring your ID.	మీ ఐడీ తీసుకురండి.	నీ ఐడీ తీసుకురా.
Don't be late.	ఆలస్యం చేయకండి.	ఆలస్యం చేయకు.
Where are you going?	మీరు ఎక్కడికి వెళ్తున్నారు?	నువ్వు ఎక్కడికి వెళ్తున్నావు?
Have you eaten?	మీరు తిన్నారా?	నువ్వు తిన్నావా?

The informal column matches the match text above, where the friend is told రా and ఆలస్యం చేయకు. If you leave the selector on Match source tone and your English gives no clue about the reader, look at the verb endings in the result before you send it: -ారు and -ండి mean మీరు, -ావు and a bare stem mean నువ్వు.

Titles in a Telugu letter: శ్రీ, శ్రీమతి, కుమారి and గారు

English titles map onto Telugu ones only in part. శ్రీ goes before a man's name, శ్రీమతి before a married woman's and కుమారి before an unmarried woman's or a girl's. There is no settled Telugu match for Ms., which is why the interview sample had to pick something and picked శ్రీమతి. గారు, placed after the name, does most of the work in everyday Telugu, and it says nothing about marriage.

English	Telugu	When it fits
Mr.	శ్రీ ... గారు	Any man you address formally
Mrs.	శ్రీమతి ... గారు	A woman you know to be married
Miss	కుమారి	An unmarried woman or a girl
Ms.	(name) గారు	When marriage is unknown or beside the point
Dear (warm)	ప్రియమైన	Family, friends, people you know well
Dear (formal)	గౌరవనీయులైన	Someone senior or someone you have not met

Company names, product names and the name of an office building are a different problem: Telugu writes them by sound, and two runs can spell them two ways. Select such a name in your English and press Keep, and it comes through exactly as you typed it.

Written Telugu and the Telugu people speak

Telugu has a wide gap between how it is written formally and how it is spoken. Official letters, newspapers and government forms prefer Sanskrit-derived words and full verb endings; conversation uses shorter verbs and a lot of English. The two samples sit on either side of that line, and in the match text a few formal words leaked across.

Neither column below is wrong. The question is which one your reader expects.

English	Written or formal	Everyday
office	కార్యాలయం	ఆఫీసు
reply	ప్రత్యుత్తరం	రిప్లై
last time	గతసారి	పోయినసారి
on the screen	స్క్రీన్‌పై	స్క్రీన్ మీద
late	ఆలస్యం	లేట్
I'll order	ఆర్డర్ చేస్తాను	ఆర్డర్ చేస్తా

Formal gives you the left column and Informal leans to the right. If a single word in an otherwise casual result sounds like a government circular, click that sentence to see up to three other wordings before you start editing by hand.

Dates, times and English words in Telugu script

Telugu dates mark the day as an ordinal, as in the interview email: అక్టోబర్ 12వ తేదీన. Times put the part of the day first: ఉదయం for morning, మధ్యాహ్నం for afternoon, సాయంత్రం for evening and రాత్రి for night, so 11 am is ఉదయం 11 గంటలకు. Telugu has its own digits, but ordinary digits are what most people read and type, and the translator used them in both samples. Large sums are counted in lakhs and crores, so 2 million rupees is 20 లక్షల రూపాయలు.

English loans such as సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్, రూమ్‌కి and ఇమెయిల్‌కు contain an invisible character, the zero-width non-joiner, straight after the consonant with the virama (the pollu). It keeps that consonant apart instead of stacking the next letter under it. Some keyboards and editors drop it when you retype or edit the word, and the spelling changes shape. Copy the word from the result instead of rebuilding it, or download the whole translation as a Word file, PDF or plain text.

One Telugu for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh

The translator writes the standard Telugu used in newspapers and official mail in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh; it has no region setting. Everyday speech differs between Hyderabad, the coastal districts and Rayalaseema, and Hyderabad Telugu takes in more Urdu words than the rest. For an interview email that does not matter, because the formal register is shared. For a message to your family, read the Informal result and swap in the words your own family uses.

Mistakes to check before you send

శ్రీమతి for a Ms.

Unless you know the woman is married, remove శ్రీమతి and write the name with గారు. It stays polite without saying anything about her private life.

నువ్వు to an elder or a customer

Informal on a message to a teacher, a friend's parent or a client reads as rude. Set Formal, and the verbs change to the -ారు and -ండి forms along with the pronoun.

Circular-style words in a chat

కార్యాలయం, ప్రత్యుత్తరం or గతసారి in a text to a friend make it sound like a notice. Use Informal, or swap in ఆఫీసు, రిప్లై and పోయినసారి.

A name spelled two ways

Telugu writes English names by sound, so a surname or a company name can come out differently in two runs. Select it and press Keep before translating.

Millions where readers count lakhs

If your English says 2 million rupees, check that the Telugu reads 20 లక్షల రూపాయలు rather than a word-for-word million that readers have to convert in their heads.

Letters that change shape after editing

If a word like సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ suddenly shows a stacked letter after you touch it, the invisible non-joiner was lost. Copy the word again from the translation.

Certificates, property papers, court documents and anything going to a passport office or a foreign university need a qualified Telugu translator who can sign the translation; this page is for understanding such documents and for drafting everyday emails, notices and messages.

English to Telugu translation questions

How do I write 'Ms.' in Telugu?

There is no fixed Telugu equivalent. శ్రీమతి means Mrs. and కుమారి means Miss, so each says something about marriage that Ms. does not. The usual solution is the name followed by గారు, as in లక్ష్మి గారు, or లక్ష్మి గారికి at the start of a letter.

Why is my Telugu translation so formal?

Formal Telugu draws on Sanskrit-derived words such as కార్యాలయం and ప్రత్యుత్తరం, which suit official email but sound stiff in a chat. Set the register to Informal for friends and family and you get నువ్వు, shorter verbs like చేస్తా, and more of the English words people actually say.

Should I put గారు after every name in Telugu?

For anyone older than you, anyone senior at work and anyone you do not know well, yes. Between friends of the same age it is usually left out, and adding it makes the message sound distant.

Will the Telugu work for readers in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh?

Yes. The translator writes standard written Telugu, which readers in both states use for news and official mail. It has no region setting, so for a family message you may want to swap in the words your own family uses, especially for someone in Hyderabad, where everyday Telugu mixes in more Urdu.

Can I get the Telugu in English letters?

The translator writes Telugu in Telugu script, as both samples show. Telugu typed in Latin letters has no fixed spelling, so if your reader prefers it, read the script version and type it out the way they would spell it.

How can I check a Telugu translation if I don't read Telugu?

Press Use as source to put the Telugu into the input box, translate it back into English and compare the meaning with your original sentence by sentence. Where one sentence has drifted, click it in the result to see up to three alternative wordings, or press Retranslate.

Can I translate an offer letter or a Word document into Telugu?

Yes. Upload a .docx, .pdf or .txt file of up to 25 MB and download the Telugu as Word, PDF or plain text. Read the salutation and any titles before sending, because the శ్రీమతి question applies to a whole letter too.
