Yes, Tamil is recognised as one of the world's classical languages. It is the oldest surviving classical language with a continuous literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years.

The Indian government officially recognised Tamil as a classical language in 2004, acknowledging its ancient origins, rich literary heritage, and original literary tradition.

Tamil literature includes ancient works such as the Sangam poetry (300 BCE–300 CE), religious texts, and countless literary masterpieces that continue to be studied and appreciated today.

Tamil idioms and proverbs (பழமொழிகள் - pazhamozhigal) can be challenging for machine translation because they often have cultural and metaphorical meanings that don't translate literally.

Our translation tool may provide literal translations of idioms, which might not convey the intended cultural meaning. For example, the Tamil proverb "கல்லா விட்டால் காக்கைக்கும் ஊன்" translates literally but loses its metaphorical significance.

For accurate translation of idioms, proverbs, or culturally significant phrases, we recommend consulting a Tamil language expert who can provide contextually appropriate English equivalents.

Yes, our translation tool recognises standard Tamil Unicode text regardless of the writing style or font used. Whether you're using formal literary Tamil or colloquial spoken Tamil, the tool can process the text.

However, translation accuracy may vary between செந்தமிழ் (senthamizh) – pure Tamil – and modern colloquial Tamil that includes English loanwords or regional expressions.

Formal, standardised Tamil text typically translates more accurately than highly colloquial or dialectal Tamil, which may contain expressions unique to specific regions.

As explained earlier, machine translation technology is used to perform the translation. This software is evolving every day, and over time, the translations will become more accurate — especially for commonly used phrases and sentences.

At the moment, it is not perfect, but our translation software is useful for those who need help framing sentences and getting a general idea of the message being conveyed.

Whilst our tool can provide a general translation of Tamil documents, we do not recommend using it for official, legal, or formal purposes without professional verification.

For official documents such as certificates, legal contracts, academic transcripts, or government applications, you should engage a certified professional translator who can ensure accuracy and provide certified translations.

Our tool is best suited for informal communication, understanding general content, or getting a preliminary translation that can be refined by a professional translator.
