## Overview

englishtoburmese.com is a specialized, web-based translation tool dedicated exclusively to the English-to-Burmese (Myanmar) language pair.

## Core Capabilities

- **Text & Sentence Translation:** Instant bidirectional-ready translation from English to Burmese with support for up to 20,000 characters per request.
- **Voice / Speech-to-Text ("Talk"):** Real-time microphone dictation that transcribes English speech directly into the input area.
- **Burmese Audio Playback ("Play Burmese"):** Text-to-speech audio rendering of the translated Myanmar text so users can verify pronunciation.
- **Document Translation:** In-browser parsing and translation of `.txt`, `.docx` (Microsoft Word), and text-layer `.pdf` files up to 12 MB.
- **Strict Unicode Compliance:** All outputs are formatted strictly in international standard Unicode Myanmar (ISO/IEC 10646 / Unicode Consortium), ensuring seamless rendering across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux without Zawgyi font breakages.

## Script & Encoding Guidelines

- **Unicode Myanmar Standard:** The Burmese alphabet uses the Unicode range U+1000–U+109F. Modern operating systems support this natively via fonts like Noto Sans Myanmar, Pyidaungsu, and Myanmar Text.
- **Zawgyi Legacy Compatibility:** Older web sources or devices historically used "Zawgyi-One", an ad-hoc encoding that repurposed vacant Unicode code points. englishtoburmese.com outputs clean, standard Unicode to prevent font corruption and garbled text (mojibake).
- **Word Order:** Burmese is a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) language, contrasting with English Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). Machine translation handles reordering, but simple, well-structured English sentences yield the highest quality translations.

## Technical Details

- **Framework:** Astro (Server-Side Rendered via Node.js standalone adapter).
- **Styling:** Custom responsive design system with warm crimson, saffron gold, and cream tones.
- **Accessibility:** Semantic HTML5, ARIA labels, tablist/tabpanels, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter to translate).
- **License / Access:** Free public utility, no user account or registration required.
