Translating Russian to English — What to Expect
Cyrillic extracts cleanly, so this direction is one of the more reliable ones. The subtlety is grammatical rather than visual: Russian has no articles and uses case endings where English uses word order and prepositions, so the English output can read slightly stiff even when it's accurate. Russian also omits the present-tense verb "to be", which occasionally produces clipped English sentences. If the source is italic Cyrillic, check the extraction first — italic Russian reshapes letters substantially and errors there propagate into the translation.

Text is read as Russian
The AI is told the source is Russian, so it transcribes the text in its own script before translating.

Russian to English — Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is Russian to English translation?▼
Good for printed text, since Cyrillic extracts reliably. The English may read a little stiff because Russian lacks articles and relies on case endings, but the meaning generally comes through accurately.
Does it work on Russian documents and certificates?▼
Yes, this is a common use. Bear in mind that official documents sometimes carry stamps and handwritten signatures overlapping the print, which interferes with extraction in those areas.
What about italic Russian text?▼
Italic Cyrillic changes letterforms considerably — italic т resembles a Latin m — so extraction is less reliable and errors carry into the translation. Check the extracted panel when the source is italic.
