Translating Italian to English: what to know
Subject Pronouns Often Dropped
Italian frequently omits subject pronouns because verb conjugations indicate the subject. English requires explicit subjects in most cases. "Mangio" means "I eat," but you must translate it as "I eat," not just "eat." Watch for implied subjects in subordinate clauses and questions where English needs the pronoun stated clearly.
False Friends With Similar Spelling
Many Italian words resemble English but mean different things. "Attualmente" means "currently," not "actually." "Sensibile" means "sensitive," not "sensible." "Eventualmente" means "possibly," not "eventually." "Libreria" is a bookstore, not a library. "Parenti" means relatives, not parents. Always verify words that look identical or nearly identical between languages.
Continuous Tenses Differ Significantly
Italian uses simple present tense where English often requires present continuous. "Cosa fai?" typically translates as "What are you doing?" not "What do you do?" Context determines whether Italian presente indicates habitual action or ongoing activity. Italian has progressive forms with "stare" plus gerund, but they're used more restrictively than English continuous tenses.

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.
