**Translation** converts text from one language to another while preserving its meaning.
For Example: **'मैं ऑफिस जा रहा हूँ'** translates to **'I am going to the office'** in English, where the script and language change, but the original meaning remains the same.

Available languages:
- **`en-IN`**: English
- **`hi-IN`**: Hindi
- **`bn-IN`**: Bengali
- **`gu-IN`**: Gujarati
- **`kn-IN`**: Kannada
- **`ml-IN`**: Malayalam
- **`mr-IN`**: Marathi
- **`od-IN`**: Odia
- **`pa-IN`**: Punjabi
- **`ta-IN`**: Tamil
- **`te-IN`**: Telugu

For hands-on practice, you can explore the notebook tutorial on [Translate API Tutorial](https://github.com/sarvamai/sarvam-ai-cookbook/blob/main/notebooks/translate/Translate_API_Tutorial.ipynb).

Translate Text

**Transliteration** converts text from one script to another while preserving the original pronunciation. For example, **'नमस्ते'** becomes **'namaste'** in English, and **'how are you'** can be written as **'हाउ आर यू'** in Devanagari. This process ensures that the sound of the original text remains intact, even when written in a different script.

Transliteration is useful when you want to represent words phonetically across different writing systems, such as converting **'मैं ऑफिस जा रहा हूँ'** to **'main office ja raha hun'** in English letters.

**Translation**, on the other hand, converts text from one language to another while preserving the meaning rather than pronunciation. For example, **'मैं ऑफिस जा रहा हूँ'** translates to **'I am going to the office'** in English, changing both the script and the language while conveying the intended message.
### Examples of **Transliteration**:
- **'Good morning'** becomes **'गुड मॉर्निंग'** in Hindi, where the pronunciation is preserved but the meaning is not translated.
- **'सुप्रभात'** becomes **'suprabhat'** in English.

Available languages:
- **`en-IN`**: English
- **`hi-IN`**: Hindi
- **`bn-IN`**: Bengali
- **`gu-IN`**: Gujarati
- **`kn-IN`**: Kannada
- **`ml-IN`**: Malayalam
- **`mr-IN`**: Marathi
- **`od-IN`**: Odia
- **`pa-IN`**: Punjabi
- **`ta-IN`**: Tamil
- **`te-IN`**: Telugu
