It belongs to the Germanic (Indo-European) language family and is written in the Latin alphabet. English has very little inflection and instead relies heavily on word order and helper verbs, with a huge vocabulary drawn from both Germanic and Romance roots.

Russian to English translation tips
- Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet, and English uses the Latin alphabet, so the translator converts between writing systems for you.
- 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. Russian has no articles and free word order driven by emphasis, so translations need case endings and aspect choices that plain word-for-word substitution gets wrong.
- Russian nouns and adjectives decline through six grammatical cases, so word endings shift depending on a word's role in the sentence, not just its position.
- There are no articles (a/the); definiteness is usually implied by word order or context instead.
- Verbs come in perfective/imperfective aspect pairs distinguishing a completed action from an ongoing or habitual one, with no single English equivalent.
- Russian distinguishes formal and informal 'you' (вы vs ты); the translator defaults to a neutral register, so add a cue like 'formal' for business or unfamiliar audiences.
English false friends to watch for
- фамилия looks like “family” but means surname (last name).
- магазин looks like “magazine” but means shop, store.
- декада looks like “decade” but means a ten-day period.
