Currently we are using romanised form of Thaana letters instead of using actual Unicode Thaana letters. This makes things a lot easier for us. The translated romanised output from English to Dhivehi can be converted to Unicode by a simple mapping. This mapping is as follows:

Thaana is written in right to left. however, for romanisation, we use from left to right. so ->
- "I am a fisherman"
outputs:
- "waharenqnakI masqveriwewq" (read from left to right)
which is
- "އަހަރެންނަކީ މަސްވެރިއްއް" (read from _right_ to left)
