Can anybody tell me how to write/draw the word satya in sanskrit? Is there a site that translates english words into sanskrit symbols?

I have had reasonably good success using the following site for translating words into Sanskrit. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit (http://www.spokensanskrit.de/)

The translation that I found there for what you are asking is the following.

सत्य

Satya synonym "truth"

Ah, so at least the online translator that I used would appear to be correct in this instance. I was hoping that you would come along with a larger image to be seen here, supriya _82!

Would other possible synonyms be "true" and "reality" in addition to "truth?"

Great, thank you Clough and supriya _82, you answered my first ever question.

Absolutely spot on Clough.

Both the translations are perfect. A brief tutorial if I may.
This was Clough's translation
6724

This was mine:
6725

The difference is highlighted in the darker text. But it can be written either way. It represents the sound "T" as in tiramasu where the tip of the tongue touches the back of your teeth. Not the "T" as in tire where the toungue touches the palate. The English language does not have words where the "T" is pronounced as the T in tiramasu. Or I cannot think of any right away.

Thank you. But, I think if you look more closely at my translation, it does look like more like yours than the first one that you posted in post #7.

Its just the difference in font. But your translation is perfect. The point I wanted to highlight was the sound "T" can be written as

6743

But the sound is pronounced very short. Unlike "Ta" where there is extra emphasis and the prounciation is a bit prolonged which would be written as:

6744

Hi Supriya,
I read one of your post about the different T sanskrit, I see the two symbols but didn't t get which one is the ``... "T" as in tiramasu where the tip of the tongue touches the back of your teeth... ` and which one is the other. Would you please help me on this?
Second question, can this T be doubled in Sanskrit like in english? Like in the word : Attack.
May I write twice the Sankrit T ?
Thanks in advance.
