Translating Estonian to English: what to know
Estonian Has No Grammatical Gender
Estonian uses 'tema' for he, she, and it, with no gender distinction in pronouns or grammar. When translating to English, you must determine gender from context or cultural norms to choose the correct pronoun. Names, occupations, and contextual clues help identify whether to use he, she, or they. This requires careful interpretation since Estonian provides no grammatical hints.
Case System Doesn't Map Directly
Estonian has 14 grammatical cases that express relationships English shows through prepositions and word order. The illative, elative, and allative cases indicate motion and location but don't translate one-to-one with English prepositions. For example, 'majasse' (into the house) and 'majast' (from the house) require different English prepositions. Focus on the underlying spatial or grammatical relationship rather than seeking direct case equivalents.
No Articles in Estonian
Estonian lacks definite and indefinite articles (a, an, the), so translators must infer them from context in English. Word order, demonstratives like 'see' (this), and discourse context indicate definiteness. A noun appearing for the first time typically takes 'a/an' in English, while previously mentioned or contextually unique nouns need 'the'. This requires understanding the broader text, not just sentence-level translation.

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.
