Help with the fields
Kodava Word/Sentence (English script) — Write the Kodava takk text using English/Latin letters. This is called transliteration — writing Kodava words phonetically in English. For example, "hoLe" for river, "Ninga daaDa?" for "Whose are you?".
Kannada Script — The same Kodava takk text written in Kannada script (ಕನ್ನಡ). This field auto-syncs with the Kodava field — type in either one and the other updates automatically.
Proficiency — Your self-assessed level of Kodava takk knowledge. Expert: native speaker or linguistic researcher. Intermediate: conversational speaker or heritage learner. Beginner: learning the language or non-speaker with some knowledge. Expert contributions are prioritized during review.
Notes vs Additional Context — Notes are for dialect variations or brief usage remarks. Additional Context is for deeper information like literal meaning, cultural significance, or idiomatic usage that helps the translator understand nuances.

Learning the language or non-speaker with knowledge

Helps the translator understand nuances. E.g. "daaDa means whose? — literally asking Whose are you? i.e. What family do you belong to?"
