Translating English to Catalan: what to know
Adjective Placement Differs Significantly
In Catalan, most adjectives follow the noun they modify, unlike English where they precede it. For example, 'red car' becomes 'cotxe vermell' (car red). However, some common adjectives like 'bon' (good), 'gran' (great/big), and 'petit' (small) can precede the noun, sometimes changing meaning. 'Gran home' means 'great man' while 'home gran' means 'big/tall man'.
Definite Articles Required More Often
Catalan uses definite articles (el, la, els, les) in many contexts where English omits them. Abstract nouns, general statements, and languages typically require articles: 'I like music' becomes 'M'agrada la música', and 'Spanish is easy' becomes 'El castellà és fàcil'. Articles also appear before possessives with body parts and clothing, unlike English usage patterns.
Pronoun Placement with Verbs Varies
Catalan object pronouns typically precede conjugated verbs, unlike English: 'I see him' becomes 'El veig' (him I-see). With infinitives, gerunds, and affirmative commands, pronouns attach to the end: 'to see him' is 'veure'l'. In compound tenses and periphrastic constructions, pronouns can go before the auxiliary or attach to the infinitive, creating flexibility not present in English.

What does the “Meaning kept” score mean?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and scores how closely the meaning survived (100 = same meaning). Below 90 you'll see a warning — double-check names, numbers and negations. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
