Iban Translator Online: English to Iban Word Substitution

What is Iban Translator Online: English to Iban Word Substitution?

This is a conversational word-substitution tool for English text. You paste or type English, and it swaps a small, fixed vocabulary of common words and one greeting phrase for their Iban equivalents. Everything it does not recognize — names, numbers, punctuation, spacing, line breaks, and any word outside the list — comes back untouched.

It is deliberately honest about scope. This is not a grammar engine and not a full Iban translation service. It is a transparent gloss tool: you can see every pair it knows, and you can see exactly which words in your text were replaced.

Key Features

• A published 14-pair word list plus one phrase. The supported English-to-Iban pairs are: I → aku, No → ndak, Yes → aok, You → nuan, bird → burung, cook → berapi, delicious → nyamai, hallway → ruai, leg → kaki, my → aku, name → nama, tasty → nyamai, thank you → terima kasih, welcome → selamat datai, and the phrase How are you? → Nama Berita?.
• Whole-word, case-insensitive matching. "I" is replaced but "Iban" is not; "bird" is replaced but "blackbird" is not. Capitalization of the source word does not block a match.
• Exact preservation of everything else. Unmatched words, punctuation, spacing and line breaks are returned verbatim, so you can compare input and output side by side.
• A derived reverse lookup. Give Iban text and get the English words back for the same pairs, with duplicate targets reported rather than silently guessed.
• A coverage report. After each conversion you see which tokens matched and which did not, so you know precisely what the tool did.

How to Use

1. Type or paste your English text into the chat. A sentence or a short paragraph both work.
2. Read the converted Iban text in the copyable block, then check the coverage report underneath to see which words were replaced.
3. Ask for a reverse conversion by pasting Iban text and saying "Iban to English", or ask for a random example sentence built from the supported pairs.

Example Use Cases

• Checking an English sentence against the Iban word list. Paste "Thank you, my name is Ana. How are you?" and get "terima kasih, aku nama is Ana. Nama Berita?" with the unmatched name flagged.
• Learning a handful of Iban vocabulary items. Ask for the full pair list, or ask for a random example sentence so you can see several pairs in context.
• Reverse-checking Iban text you found elsewhere. Paste "aok, terima kasih" and get the English gloss back, with a note that "aku" is ambiguous between I and my.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep expectations at word level. If you need real sentence translation, this tool will tell you plainly that it cannot do it rather than inventing Iban grammar.
• Use the coverage report. If a word you expected to be replaced was not, it is simply outside the 14-pair list.
• For reverse lookups, expect ambiguity notes on "aku" and "nyamai", which each map from two English words.

FAQ

What input format does it accept?
Plain text typed or pasted into the chat. There is no file upload requirement and no character limit imposed by the tool itself, though very long passages are handled in sections.

How accurate is the result?
It is exact for the 14 word pairs and one phrase listed above, because the substitution is deterministic. It is not accurate as full Iban translation, and it never claims to be: words outside the list pass through unchanged.

How does this compare with some free text tools?
Some free text tools apply a hidden word list and leave you guessing why a word was or was not replaced. This tool publishes the entire list, states its matching rule (whole-word, case-insensitive), preserves unmatched text, and reports coverage per conversion. It does not add grammar, audio or font output that the original word-substitution approach never provided.

Can it translate a whole paragraph into fluent Iban?
No. It substitutes known words and leaves the rest in English, and it says so in the output.
