What changes when Greek becomes English
The Greek alphabet and Latin-letter spelling
Greek has its own 24-letter alphabet, so names and places have to be carried over into Latin letters. Spellings vary: Γιώργος can appear as Giorgos or Yiorgos, and χ is often written as ch or h. When a place already has an established English name, such as Αθήνα (Athens), the translation usually uses it.
The polite plural “you”
Greek often uses the plural form as a polite way to address one person: Θέλετε καφέ; is formal, while Θέλεις καφέ; is casual. English has only “you”, so politeness has to come through word choice instead. Choose Formal (business email) or Casual under Tone to steer the English register.
Hidden subjects and flexible word order
Greek verb endings show who is acting, so the subject pronoun is usually left out: Πάω σπίτι means “I’m going home”. Greek word order is also freer than English word order, so the translation has to add a subject and often rearrange the sentence.
Question marks and decimal commas
The Greek question mark looks like an English semicolon (;), and decimals are written with a comma: 2,5 ευρώ becomes 2.5 euros in English. Double-check prices, dates and figures after translating.

How do I translate Greek to English here?
Type, paste or dictate your Greek text in the input box, or open a file, and start the translation. You can pick a tone, click Show alternatives for other phrasings, and use Read aloud to hear the English result.
Is this Greek translate tool free to use?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no signup, no account and nothing to install. A free account is only needed if you want to sync your saved phrasebook.
Can I use it as a Greek word translator for single words?
Yes, you can enter a single Greek word or a short phrase. Many Greek words have more than one English meaning, so Show alternatives can help you compare options, and a full sentence gives the AI more context.
Why do Greek names come out spelled differently in English?
There is more than one way to write Greek letters in the Latin alphabet, so Γιώργος may appear as Giorgos or Yiorgos. If a person already uses a specific English spelling, check that the translation matches it.
How long can my text be, and can I open a Greek document?
Each run takes up to 5,000 characters, so split longer texts into parts. You can open DOCX, ODT, RTF or TXT files; the text is extracted in your browser, but the formatting is not kept, and PDFs and images are not supported.
Is it safe to paste private messages or work emails in Greek?
Your text is sent to an AI model, translated, returned and then discarded. It is not stored and not used for training.
How does Show pronunciation write Greek in Latin letters?
Show pronunciation adds an approximate Latin-letter romanization of the Greek text under the result, such as Kaliméra for Καλημέρα. It is a reading aid, not an exact phonetic transcription.
Does this page work as a Greek word counter?
No, this page translates text and does not count words. Keep in mind that each translation run is limited to 5,000 characters.
Can I translate English back into Greek, or translate a photo of a Greek sign?
