Script, not translation
This tool changes the letters, not the language. Each Hindi letter is written with the matching Kannada letter, so भारत सरकार becomes ಭಾರತ ಸರಕಾರ and still says "bhārat sarkār". Use it to help someone who reads Kannada but not Devanagari say a Hindi name, a slogan or a prayer. To change the language, you need a translator instead.
How exact it is
Unicode lays out the Indian scripts in parallel, and every letter here was matched by its official Unicode name, so nothing is guessed. Kannada has a short and a long e and o. Hindi ए and ओ are long, so they become ಏ and ಓ. The dotted letters such as ज़ keep their dot (ಜ಼).
Kannada and Telugu letters look alike because the two scripts grew from the same one, but the letters are not interchangeable. For Roman letters instead, use Hindi to IAST.
