ReanKhmer
ReanKhmer's free translator turns English into Khmer and Khmer into English, and spells out how every Khmer word is pronounced in Latin letters. It was built by the Cambodian diaspora for heritage learners: people who understand some Khmer but never learned to read the script.

Yes. You can translate 3 times a day without an account. A free ReanKhmer account raises that to 10 a day and adds voice input and audio playback. Pro members get 20 translations a day and Premium members get 100.
Yes. Khmer text comes with romanization, which spells the sounds out in Latin letters, so ខ្ញុំស្រឡាញ់អ្នក (I love you) reads as "khnhom sralanh neak". You can switch to IPA if you prefer phonetic symbols. Treat it as an approximate guide: Khmer has sounds that English spelling cannot capture exactly.
Romanization writes Khmer words with the Latin alphabet so you can sound them out before you can read the script. For example, សួស្ដី (hello) is romanized as "suosdei". It helps heritage learners who grew up hearing Khmer connect the sounds they know to the written words.
Translations come from Google Cloud Translation, which handles everyday Khmer well. Formal, literary, or regional Khmer can come out stiff, so ask a native speaker to check anything important, like a wedding speech or an official letter.
