Translating English to Croatian: what to know
Aspect Pairs Are Mandatory
Croatian verbs come in perfective and imperfective pairs, unlike English. 'I read' could be 'čitam' (ongoing/habitual) or 'pročitam' (completed action). English simple past maps to perfective for completed actions, but imperfective for descriptions of ongoing past states. Choosing the wrong aspect changes meaning fundamentally, not just nuance.
Seven Cases Replace Word Order
Croatian uses seven grammatical cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, locative, instrumental) where English relies on word order and prepositions. 'The man's dog' becomes 'pas čovjeka' (genitive). 'I give the dog to the man' requires dative 'čovjeku'. Every noun, adjective, and pronoun must decline correctly or sentences become incomprehensible.
No Articles, Context Shows Definiteness
Croatian has no equivalents for 'a', 'an', or 'the'. Definiteness is shown through word order, demonstratives, or context. 'The book' and 'a book' both translate as 'knjiga', though 'ta knjiga' (that book) or 'jedna knjiga' (one book) can specify when needed. Overusing demonstratives sounds unnatural to native speakers.

Which languages are supported?
38 languages, in any direction — pick source and target above the editor. Popular pairs also have their own pages, like English to Spanish.
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.
