    Hi, nithyarajan!

    I don't know about a free program that would do that. Although, there are at least a few ways that you can find out what translations are. This site would be one of them.

    If you need something translated, how about posting what you need translated here?

    I seem to have had some reasonably good success using the following site. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit I do wish that we had a designated expert here in translating words, names and phrases into Sanskrit. However, every once in awhile, there are a couple of people that show up who really know their stuff about translating written names, words and sentences from other languages into the written Sanskrit. Hopefully, someone like that will come along and notice your post.

    You may have to try the site above in the different ways that are available and maybe also try some things that are suggested on it in order for you to be successful.

    There is also another site that you could try. It would be the following one. Free Online Translations to Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi for Tattoos, Names & Sentences

    I think that the guy that runs it is the same one that comes around here, now and then, to answer very finely concerning questions like the one that you have.

    It's my understanding, that there is also a way to contact people on either site to get help.

    Thanks!

    Human translation is much more reliable than machine translation.
    The meanings of the words change in the context they are used in a sentence.
    Machine translation may be able to provide you with an approximate translation only.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you drkpp, that human translation rather than that done by a machine would be much more accurate!

    It's similar to a response that someone posted in Interior Home Improvement forum topic area on this site, with some sort of estimating calculator available online for doing things for your home that you can just simply type in your information, and voilą! you have your figures as to how much it might cost. There are too many variables to consider for a machine to be able to do that!

    You're getting very close for me to consider writing to people recommending that you be an Expert here, drkpp!

    Is it possible for you to enlarge the script of your translations somewhat that you post, please?

    Thanks!
