Typing characters in Google Translate 打汉字

  1. Type the whole sentence without capital letter, space or tone marks . For example, type: woshifenlanren and choose from the suggested options 1. 我是芬兰人.
  2. You will see the pinyin of this sentence under Ä and the symbol 拼: Wǒ shì fēnlán rén. If you cannot see the pinyin, just click the Ä to show and hide the pinyin.
  3. To check you result, you can either check the pinyin (the best option) or check the translation on the right side of the page.
Some tips: Type “v” to get “ü”. When you have “r” (like in “nar”), type “er” instead of “r”. For example: “naer” to get 哪儿.
