The easiest way of typing from a native language is to use a transliteration application. For Sinhalese the most famous application was the UCSC real-time Unicode converter that can be found here.
Now this is becoming replaced with Google transliteration labs, which provides Unicode conversion support for number of languages including Sinhalese.
Compared to Unicode converter this provides an intuitive transliteration scheme.

Translation is the process of converting meaning of a word from one language to another where as transliteration is the process of converting sound of a word to another language. Apparently, transliteration allows typing other languages phonetically in English letters through these converters.
