Russian to English: Points to Check
Russian grammar carries information English has to rebuild. Here is what the translation handles and where to look.
- Articles
- Russian has no “a” or “the”; the English adds them from context
- Ты and вы
- Both become “you”; the switch between formal and informal is not visible in English
- Patronymics
- Иван Петрович is addressed by first name and patronymic; English keeps it or shortens it to Ivan
- Spelling of names
- Transliteration varies (Aleksandr, Alexander); save the spelling you want in My terms
- Numbers
- Russian writes 1 500 and 2,5; the English uses 1,500 and 2.5
- Word order
- Free word order puts emphasis on the end of the sentence; the English keeps the meaning, not the order
- Output
- Russian transcript and English text with the same timestamps, exported separately
Three Checks for Russian Audio
Most fixes come from names and terms, so set them before you translate.
Names
Fix one transliteration
Add people and place names to My terms with the English spelling you use, so the translation doesn’t switch between versions.
Mixed speech
Set Russian for code-switching
If speakers mix Russian with Ukrainian or English, choose Russian as the spoken language rather than auto-detect.
Use
Get sensitive text checked
Machine translation is fine for understanding; quotes for publication and anything legal deserve a fluent reader.
