Translating Catalan to English: what to know

Adjective Placement Differs Significantly

Catalan typically places adjectives after nouns ("cotxe vermell" = red car), while English puts most adjectives before nouns. However, some common Catalan adjectives like "gran," "petit," "bon," and "mal" can precede nouns, changing meaning subtly. When translating, reorder adjectives to follow English conventions, placing them before the noun they modify unless using a predicative construction.

False Friends With Shared Latin Roots

Catalan and English share many Latin-derived words that look similar but mean different things. "Constipat" means "having a cold," not constipated. "Embarassada" means pregnant, not embarrassed. "Sensible" means sensitive, not sensible (which is "assenyat"). "Actual" means current/present, not actual (which is "real"). "Recordar" means to remember, not to record. Always verify cognates rather than assuming identical meanings.

Pronoun Dropping and Subject Clarity

Catalan frequently omits subject pronouns because verb conjugations indicate person and number ("Vaig" = I go). English requires explicit subjects in most cases. When translating, you must add the appropriate subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they) even when absent in Catalan. Pay attention to context to determine the correct subject, especially in third-person singular where "va" could mean he/she/it went.

What does the confidence band under the translation mean?

After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and shows a confidence band: High confidence, Review changes, or Meaning may have changed. It's a model estimate, not a guarantee — whatever the band says, double-check names, numbers and negations in the translation. The raw judge score appears as secondary detail in the “Why?” explanation, labeled as an estimate. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
