Sanskrit translation - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hello all...a friend of mine is looking to get a tattoo that says "look to this day" in Sanskrit, and asked me to help her translate that into Sanskrit...I'm having very little luck so far on the search engines...

So, anyone know Sanskrit?

I can, but I don't have a sanskrit keyboard

sanskrit uses it's own character's so it'll be hard to find an online translator.

i suggest you call your nearest university up and ask their sanskrit professor.

also might be able to help would be the preists at your local temple (hindu temple). depending on how good they are, they might be able to help you out.

Wish I could....I know about as much sanskrit as I do Arameic. That is none, by the way

I'd seriously do what the_dude says, university is your best bet. Email a professor.

Either that or keep searching the web

i had to take sanscrit for one term back in year 9. i loved every second of it, but oddly, i failed it miserably.
