Free AI Translator from Italian to English
Paste an email from a colleague in Milan, a recipe from your nonna or a page from your Italian textbook and get natural English back. Italian often drops subject pronouns, uses Lei for politeness and packs meaning into verb endings, so the English sentence is rebuilt rather than copied word for word.

What changes when Italian becomes English
Missing subjects and the polite Lei
Italian usually leaves out the subject because the verb ending already shows it: “Parliamo domani” means “We’ll talk tomorrow.” English needs the pronoun, so the translation adds it. Both the polite “Lei” and the familiar “tu” become “you”, so the politeness has to show up in word choice instead: “Può aiutarmi?” reads better as “Could you help me?” in a formal message.
False friends to double-check
Some Italian words look like English ones but mean something else. “Attualmente” means “currently”, not “actually”. “Eventualmente” means “if needed” or “possibly”. “Camera” is a room, and “fattoria” is a farm, not a factory. If a sentence seems slightly off, these words are a good place to look.
Numbers, prices and dates
Italian uses a comma for decimals and a period for thousands, so “1.250,50 €” becomes “€1,250.50” in English. Dates are written day first: “03/04” is 3 April, which an American reader would take as March 4. It is worth checking figures and dates in invoices, bookings and schedules after translating.
How do I translate Italian into English on this page?
Type or paste your Italian text into the input box, or click “Dictate” and speak. Italian is already set as the source and English as the target, so just run the translation and copy the result.
Why does the English version add words like “he”, “she” or “we”?
Italian often shows the subject only through the verb ending, as in “Arriva domani” for “He arrives tomorrow” or “She arrives tomorrow.” English needs a pronoun, so one is added from context; if the context is unclear, check that the right person was chosen.
How long can my text be, and can I upload an Italian 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 is placed in the editor, but the formatting is not kept, and PDFs and images are not supported.
Is it safe to translate personal letters or work emails?
Your text is sent to an AI model, translated, returned and then discarded. It is not stored and not used for training.
Can I translate English to Italian as well?
Yes. Click “Swap languages” and the direction reverses while your text stays in place.
Should I choose a formal or casual tone?
Under “Tone”, “Match the original” follows the style of your Italian text. Pick “Formal (business email)” for messages written with Lei, or “Casual” for chats with friends written with tu.
Can I hear the English translation read out?
Yes, click “Read aloud” to hear it in a browser voice, or an AI voice if your browser has none for English. There is no separate pronunciation feature, since both languages use the Latin alphabet.
Can I translate a photo of an Italian menu or sign?
No, photos and images are not supported. You can type the words, or use “Dictate” to read them aloud in Italian.
How do I know if the meaning came through?
After each translation, “Meaning kept:” shows a confidence band based on a second AI check of the original against the translation. It is an estimate, so still check names, numbers and negations, and use “Show alternatives” to see other phrasings.
