Dutch to English translation tips

Dutch uses verb-second, with verb-final subordinate clauses word order, while English is subject–verb–object — the AI restructures whole sentences instead of substituting words one by one.
English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
Dutch word order shifts between main and subordinate clauses, and the de/het article choice is unpredictable, so grammatical context drives the translation.
