Translating English to Italian: what to know
Subject Pronouns Often Dropped
Italian verb conjugations indicate person and number, so subject pronouns (io, tu, lui/lei) are typically omitted unless emphasizing contrast or clarity. English 'I eat' becomes simply 'mangio' not 'io mangio' in normal speech. Including pronouns unnecessarily sounds unnatural and overly emphatic to native speakers. Use them sparingly for emphasis or disambiguation only.
Adjective Placement and Agreement
Most Italian adjectives follow the noun they modify, opposite to English order: 'red car' becomes 'macchina rossa'. Adjectives must agree in gender and number with their nouns: masculine/feminine, singular/plural. A few common adjectives (bello, buono, grande) precede nouns and may change form. Position changes can alter meaning: 'un grande uomo' (great man) versus 'un uomo grande' (large man).
False Friends With Different Meanings
Many Italian words resemble English but mean something different. 'Camera' means room not camera (fotocamera). 'Libreria' is bookstore not library (biblioteca). 'Parents' translates to 'genitori' not 'parenti' which means relatives. 'Fattoria' means farm not factory (fabbrica). 'Eventualmente' means possibly not eventually (alla fine). Always verify cognates rather than assuming shared meaning based on spelling similarity.

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.
