Yandex translate
How convenient is the Yandex translator from/to foreign languages? Below we will look at the main advantages of this translator, and also show how you can take advantage of all its functions.
Own translation system
The translator uses a statistical processing system. That is, the work algorithm is based on the analysis of statistical data, and not on the rules of the language. To understand the structure of a certain language, the system itself learns by analyzing millions of texts of homogeneous information. Ultimately, this allows the translation to be carried out more accurately and correctly.
In addition, along with the language, the translation system also changes, which is very important in the modern world, when some words begin to be spelled differently or new words or their new meanings appear. You can read more about the company’s technology on the official Yandex website https://yandex.ru/company/technologies/translation/.
Two modes of operation
Yandex can translate both plain text and entire web pages. To do this, you need to select the source and final translation languages and paste the text into the input field. To translate web pages you need to insert a link to the resource and click the button «Transfer».
Translation in other systems
Many have seen that when searching in Yandex, below the search results there are always links to search in other search engines (Google, Bing, Mail.Ru). The situation is similar here. This is very convenient when you are not satisfied with the result of the service or you want to see how, for example, it will translate Google translator. There is no need to enter anything again, you will get the result immediately.
Online Dictionary
Finding out the translation of one word is very easy. Enter it and on the right will be displayed information about how it is translated, what part of speech it belongs to, possible synonyms, as well as voice pronunciation. This will also appear on Yandex dictionaries.
View synonyms
To view synonyms, you do not have to enter the word individually. Enter it into the input form, click on it once and hold for at least 1 second. All possible synonyms will appear to you.
Synchronous operation
The text entered in the translation window is translated synchronously. This allows you to see the translation of words in real time.

Spellchecking
