Urdu Transliteration works by converting phonetic sounds from English to the Perso-Arabic script used by Urdu. Unlike English which is written Left-to-Right (LTR), Urdu is written **Right-to-Left (RTL)**.
For example, to write "Kitab" (Book), you type K-i-t-a-b. Our engine maps 'K' to 'ک', 't' to 'ت', 'a' to 'ا', 'b' to 'ب', resulting in "کتاب".
| Input (Roman Urdu) | Output (Urdu) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Mera mulk | میرا ملک | Simple mapping of M-R-A etc. |
| Khuda | خدا | 'Kh' maps to the letter 'خ' (Khe). |
| Shukriya | شکریہ | Handles the 'y' and 'a' endings gracefully. |
| Zindabad | زندہ باد | Joins letters correctly according to Urdu calligraphy rules. |
Urdu Typing Cheat Sheet: Keyboard Map
Urdu uses the Perso-Arabic alphabet with some additional characters. Here is a quick map:
Urdu Grammar Basics
Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language but borrows heavily from Persian and Arabic vocabulary.
1. Nastaliq Script
Urdu is traditionally written in the Nastaliq style, which flows diagonally from top-right to bottom-left. Our tool uses the Noto Nastaliq Urdu font to ensure this authentic look.
2. Izafat (Zer - ِ )
The Izafat is a short vowel 'i' used to connect two words, often denoting possession. E.g., "Sher-e-Punjab" (Lion of Punjab) -> شیرِ پنجاب.
Why is Unicode Important?
In the past, InPage Urdu was used which was not web-compatible. TranslateInHindi.com generates Unicode text. This means the Urdu you type here can be copied and pasted directly into Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Microsoft Word, or any website without needing special fonts installed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this tool completely free?
Yes, TranslateInHindi.com provides this Urdu typing tool free of charge.

No. We load the Nastaliq font automatically. However, installing "Jameel Noori Nastaliq" on your system can make it look even better in Word documents.
How do I copy the text to WhatsApp?
Simply click the "Copy" button in the toolbar. Then open WhatsApp and paste (Long Press -> Paste). It will automatically align Right-to-Left.
