What changes when English becomes Hebrew
Right to left, usually without vowels
Hebrew is written right to left, and everyday text usually leaves out the vowel points (niqqud). The word ספר can be read sefer (book), sapar (barber) or siper (he told). Readers work out which one is meant from context. Numbers and Latin-letter names inside a Hebrew sentence still run left to right.
Gender shows up almost everywhere
English “you” is אתה (ata) for a man and את (at) for a woman, and present-tense verbs and adjectives change too. “I’m tired” is עייף (ayef) from a man but עייפה (ayefa) from a woman. If gender matters, add it to your English text or compare the versions in “Show alternatives”.
The article joins the word
“The” becomes the prefix ה (ha-), attached to the noun. Adjectives follow the noun and take the article as well: “the new book” is הספר החדש (ha-sefer ha-khadash).
Formal without a formal “you”
Hebrew has no polite form of “you”, and everyday Hebrew is fairly direct. Politeness comes through word choice and set phrases, such as ending an email with בברכה (bivrakha). “Formal (business email)” suits work messages, while “Casual” fits texts to friends.
How do I translate English to Hebrew here?
Type or paste your English text, or use “Dictate” to speak it. Pick a “Tone” if you want one, then run the translation. The Hebrew appears on the right, ready to copy or hear with “Read aloud”.
Why can one English sentence have two Hebrew translations?
Hebrew marks the gender of the speaker and the listener, so “I’m ready” or “you’re welcome” can change depending on who is talking to whom. Mention the gender in your text, or open “Show alternatives” to compare versions.
How much text can I translate, and can I open a document?
Each run takes up to 5,000 characters, so split longer texts into parts. You can open a DOCX, ODT, RTF or TXT file and its text goes into the editor, but formatting is not kept, and PDFs and images are not supported.
Is it safe to paste personal emails or family messages?
Your text is sent to an AI model, translated, returned and then discarded. It is not stored and not used for training.
Can I see how the Hebrew is pronounced?
Yes. “Show pronunciation” displays an approximate Latin-letter version of the Hebrew under the result, and “Read aloud” plays it with a voice.
Should I choose Formal or Casual?
Use “Formal (business email)” for work emails and official messages, and “Casual” for friends and family. “Match the original” follows the style of your English text.
Can I translate from Hebrew back into English?
Yes. Press “Swap languages” to reverse the direction and keep your text in place.
How do I know the Hebrew still means what I wrote?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the two texts and shows a rating next to “Meaning kept:”. It is an estimate, so still double-check names, numbers and words like “not”.
Can it translate a photo or handwritten note?
No, it works with text only, not photos, handwriting or PDFs. You can type the text, paste it, or read it out using “Dictate”.
