    How it works

    1. 1

      Paste text in any language. The source language is detected automatically.

    2. 2

      Choose the target language (English, or translate from English into your language).

    3. 3

      Read the translator's notes. They're where the learning is.

    4. 4

      For study, translate your own sentence into English, then back-translate to see what shifted.

    Good to know

    Meaning-first translation

    “It's raining cats and dogs” translated word-for-word is nonsense in most languages; translated meaning-first it becomes that language's own downpour idiom. The same applies in reverse for learners writing English: expressions imported literally from your first language are among the most common “unnatural phrasing” flags in IELTS writing. The notes section surfaces exactly these judgment calls instead of hiding them, which turns each translation into a small contrastive lesson.

    Using translation to study, not to avoid studying

    The productive pattern is write-then-compare: draft your sentence in English first, translate your original thought from your first language, and compare the two. The differences show precisely where your first language's structures are leaking into your English, evidence no textbook can give you, because it's specific to you.

    Questions

    Which languages are supported?
    The selector covers 20+ languages spanning the major IELTS-candidate communities, including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Nepali, Sinhala, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and the major European languages, in both directions with English. Auto-detection handles the source side.
    How is this better than ordinary machine translation?
    Two ways: register preservation (a formal letter stays formal; slang stays slang) and the translator's notes, which flag idioms and culture-bound terms instead of silently approximating them. For learners, knowing where the approximation happened matters as much as the translation.
    Can it translate into English for my IELTS essays?
    As a study aid, yes, but never draft essays in your first language and translate them; the result always reads as translated, and the habit blocks the direct-composition fluency the exam requires. Use translation to check individual phrases, not to produce text.
    Is there a length limit?
    Up to 4,000 characters per run, a couple of pages. Longer documents work fine in sequential chunks, and each run counts once against the free daily allowance.
