Tigrinya translation — frequently asked questions
How accurate is English to Tigrinya translation in Gezana?
Very accurate for Eritrean Tigrinya. Gezana was tuned for Eritrean dialect, honorifics, and idioms from day one — so English to Tigrinya translations read naturally, not literally, with the right tone for family, work, or formal settings.
Can I translate Tigrinya to English as well?
Yes. Gezana works both directions — paste Tigrinya (Ge'ez or Latin) and get fluent English back, with cultural context intact. See the dedicated Tigrinya to English translator page for details.
Is Eritrean Tigrinya different from Tigray Tigrinya?
Yes. Although mutually intelligible, Eritrean Tigrinya and Ethiopian Tigray Tigrinya differ in vocabulary, idioms, and pronunciation. Gezana is tuned for Eritrean usage — including diaspora context.
Can I translate between Tigrinya and other languages, not just English?
Yes. Gezana translates between Tigrinya and English, Italian, Arabic, German, Swedish, and many more. Paste a paragraph or ask a phrase — you'll get fluent Eritrean Tigrinya back.
Does Gezana output in Ge'ez script (ፊደል) or Latin letters?
Both. By default Gezana writes in Ge'ez, but you can ask for Latin transliteration alongside — useful for diaspora readers who don't read Ge'ez fluently.
Is the translator free?
Yes. The Gezana mobile app is free to download, with a generous free tier for everyday translation.
