German and English are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
Both German and English belong to the Indo-European language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.
German follows subject-object-verb (SOV) order while English follows subject-verb-object (SVO). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.
German: Approximately 90-100 million native speakers worldwide, with 76 million in Germany, 8.9 million in Austria, 4.6 million in Switzerland. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
