Minuses
The pronunciation button was either temporarily removed and then returned, or it was no longer available in older browsers on outdated Windows operating systems
You still have to double-check the translation: Google is not a magician, and will not conjure for you, so to get a quality translation, you still need to know the language - to catch and fix Google errors
He translates English obscenities into Russians - and this is categorically wrong: English obscenities are less rude, much less obscene, and their connotation is completely different. In the 90s, they translated correctly in action movies - with heavy and rude, but not obscene curses
I remember the wonderful times about ten years ago, when another translator was popular, into the English letter P (I'm not sure if it is possible to compare programs in reviews here), and he translated in those days just terribly. But the savior Google came and launched its own translator, which, in its clumsiness and unpredictability, was nevertheless better than its competitor. The years went by, and what we saw - Google gradually improved and improved, and the accuracy of the translation gradually grew. And around the fall of the year before last, they had a very tangible shift (they obviously launched a new algorithm), after which Google began to translate into English very, very competently. True, for a correct translation into English, you still need the keen eye of a person who knows the language well - because from time to time Google from the meanings of a word substitutes the wrong synonym that is needed in your context, especially if you write about something specific. But sometimes there are funny mistakes)
But to translate from a foreign language - always please. It is very convenient when the necessary information on the Internet is available only in some German. I selected the text in Wikipedia, copied it, pasted it into Google Translate - voila, everything is clear! Even if in some places the text has slipped into "my understanding of yours."
Well, pocketability, of course, is a big plus when traveling - in which case, you can always show the right word to a foreigner, and they will definitely understand you)
Life hack: the most popular and, as a result, the most corrected language in Google is English, so if you need to translate text from another foreign language, and you speak English at a level sufficient to understand texts without a dictionary, then it’s better to translate not into Russian, but into English. The quality of the translation from the aforementioned German is growing before our eyes.

As you know, initially dictionaries began to appear on the Internet, with the help of which it was possible to facilitate the process of translation. A well-known service from Yandex, Yandex Dictionaries, probably immediately comes to the mind of Runet users. However, progress does not stand still, and programs come to the aid of people that have already been compiled for a complete translation of the text, and not for a specific word.
Probably, the world-famous Google Translate comes to mind first of all, because it appeared first and immediately established itself as a very good service. However, his Russian colleague was not long in coming and presented Yandex Translate users to the court.
This free service is based on a proprietary system developed by the corporation's employees and underlying machine translation.
How does Yandex translator work?
The program compiles a translation based on a quick analysis in the process of work. It turns out that from those dictionaries that are in the arsenal of the service, there is a selection of the word that is most suitable in this context.
Of course, translation from such services is incomparable with translation from a professional, but the user will be able to catch the meaning of the translated text or make his work easier in the future.
The system from Yandex is based on three components:
language model- refers to the totality of all possible phrases and suitable words that were found in different texts in the selected language when indicating the frequency of use.
Translation model- this is a kind of dictionary that contains various possible ways of translation, indicating the most likely options for each word or individual phrase.
Decoder- a program that translates the text, making a choice between different possible options with a focus on the transformation of the whole sentence. Before translating a sentence, the program selects all possible probabilities, and then sorts, evaluating the context and appropriateness of use.

You can also enable/disable simultaneous translation and the function of automatic detection of the direction of translation.

What determines the quality of the text translated by the service?
The quality depends, first of all, on how many different texts there are in the system - the more there are, the more likely it is that the text will be closer to the original. Since the service is constantly updated with new texts, the system constantly updates its “knowledge” in the use of certain expressions, or any changes associated with the use or spelling of words and phrases.
According to the company, the service is under development and improvement, the database is supplemented with new texts to improve the quality. It sometimes happens that new texts worsen the translation, then such texts are removed from the database.
Numerous users approve the work of the service, they say that the translation is decent, and the phrases and expressions are quite accurate and of high quality. Yandex translator is available to every network user.
From time to time everyone needs to translate a foreign speech, but there are too many translators. This article will discuss the main advantages of the multifunctional Yandex.Translate (from English to Russian).
Yandex does not lag behind Google Translate, where there is an automatic text language detector. Many find it difficult to correctly translate the text, because the language is not known. The system will help to cope with this problem in a matter of seconds.
Yandex.Translator from English to Russian online
In this translator, the work algorithm is based on static data, and not on the rule of the language. Yandex offered a program with a unique approach to text processing. The system gives the result only after a thorough analysis of the texts. As a result, the most correct translation from all offered is obtained. A huge advantage of this translator is the change in the language processing system, because the rules often change, and with them the spelling and meaning of words.

To translate a synonym, there is no need to enter each word separately. The word to be translated is entered into the input form and held down for a couple of seconds. Then all available synonyms will be shown.
Translation in other search engines
When using Yandex for search, there are always links to other search engines, for example, or Mail.ru, Bing. The situation is similar in the translator. This is quite convenient, because if the translation seems wrong, then you can immediately look at the result of the translation of the text by Google translator. It doesn't take long and you don't have to re-enter the text. To find out the translation of a word, after entering it, all information about it will be displayed on the right: translation, synonyms, pronunciation, part of speech.
