Great app, love the interface and the examples it gives for words you translate. I'd say this app is a better translator for Russian rather than google translate. Also love that they added languages within Russia such as Udmurt, Yakutian, Bashkir, Chuvash, Mari, and Hill Mari. It's great that they added these languages but the translation for them are a bit weird so I hope that gets fixed, same thing with Punjabi, some words and sentences don't sound right. An example for Punjabi is if you try to translate "I am a man" it translates to "ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਆਦਮੀ am" which literally means "To me one man am". I understand if they're having problems with some of these lesser known languages it makes sense because there's probably not enough material in these types of languages for the ai or whatever to learn. I hope they get fixed in the future :). And I have one question for the developers if they read this, do you know any languages that are in development that will be added to the app? Anyways, great app and get it if you want to translate Russian.

One thing that makes this application, very usable, and there for the best is that the keyboard layout changes when you change the language. I switch between Russian and English all the time, and I don’t have to go and change the keyboard layout also.My request or desire is that if I want to use the informal that the translation would allow for it. The auto correct always changes it to the formal version.Additionally, I am a man, and I need to refer to myself in the correct, gender, and always the examples are rendered in the female gender. There should be a setting that allows me to choose my gender so that it gives answers for a male.

I use this translator every day, living in a Russian speaking country with my intermediate Russian skills. I don’t know what I would do without it, and I always recommend it to Russian speaking English learners when I see them using Google translate. There are some things I’m dissatisfied with— you can’t control whether a translation in Russian is in the formal or not. For example if you type a sentence with the word “you”, you don’t know if the “you” will translate to “вы” or “ты”. It would be very convenient if I somehow had the option to indicate if I want the translation to be formal or informal. Another thing that would be very convenient is if I could indicate gender. For example, if I’m translating the sentence “I did this”, I want to be able to specify the gender so that it will translate to “Я это делала” and not the automatic “Я это делал”.

I wrote a review nine years ago and I want to write an updated version. So, my second language is Russian and my third one is Spanish and I love how this app gives specific examples of words that it translates for you. This is excellent for lingophiles and polyglots such as myself because it gives the nuances behind the words so you’re not just blindly using a translation. It has also served as an excellent tool for self teaching and it has greatly contributed to my knowledge of Russian and Spanish now. Not even Google translate is this good. So, if you need a translator (at least for Russian and Spanish), Yandex is the way to go!
