What is Basic Kadazandusun-English Phrase Translator Online?

It is a small, transparent phrase and word swapper for basic Kadazandusun and English. You paste a short line of Kadazandusun or English, and the agent replaces only the entries that appear in its fixed glossary with their listed counterparts. Everything else stays exactly as you typed it. The glossary is the same compact set of greetings, name and age questions, and weather/nature words that defines this kind of basic phrase tool: four phrase pairs and thirteen word pairs.

Because the list is short and published, you can check the result yourself. That is the point: this is a phrasebook helper, not a grammar engine.

Key Features

Bidirectional swapping. Kadazandusun to English and English to Kadazandusun in one request, using the same 17 pairs.
Full glossary visibility. The agent can list every supported pair on request, so you know the limits before you rely on a result.
Match report. Each response names the entries that were replaced and flags text that had no glossary match.
Exact preservation. Unmatched words, punctuation, spacing and line breaks are kept as written; nothing is silently deleted.
Phrase-first matching. Multi-word entries such as Alasu tadau are handled before single words, and matching ignores letter case.

How to Use

Type or paste your text and say which direction you want, for example “Kadazandusun to English: Osonong Sodopon, rasam.” If you do not state a direction, the agent detects it from the glossary.
Read the converted text in the copyable block, then check the short match report underneath.
Ask for the full glossary, a reverse run, or a re-check of any line you are unsure about.

Example Use Cases

Greeting practice. Turn “Osonong Kosuabon” and “Osonong Sodopon” into English greetings for a travel phrase card.
Asking basic questions. Convert “Isai ngaran nuh” and “Piro tumur nuh” to see how the name and age questions read in English.
Weather vocabulary notes. Swap “Alasu tadau”, “Osogit tadau”, “Ribut” and “Tinggoron” to build a short weather word list, then reverse it to check the Kadazandusun forms.

A quick before-and-after: input Osonong Kosuabon, rasam tadau gives Good Morning, Rain Sun with a note that tadau was matched as the single word “Sun” after the phrase check found no longer entry.

Tips for Best Results

Keep requests short and phrasebook-like; long paragraphs will mostly come back unchanged because the glossary is small.
State the direction when your text could be read either way, such as a single word that exists in both lists.
Treat the output as a vocabulary aid, not a verified translation of a full sentence.

FAQ

What input format works? Plain text of any reasonable length. Very long text is processed but only glossary entries change; the rest is returned as-is.

How accurate is it? It is exact for the 17 published pairs and deliberately does nothing for anything else. It does not handle grammar, word order, affixes or regional spelling variants, so unmatched text is preserved rather than guessed.

How is this different from some free text tools? Many free phrase tools show a single output box with no indication of what matched. This agent returns the converted text plus a match report and can print the complete glossary, so the scope is visible. It covers the same small basic-phrase job and does not claim broader translation ability.
