How these two languages compare, and what it means for your translations.
German uses the Latin script while Russian uses the Cyrillic script. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Both German and Russian 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 Russian 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. Longer sentences are more likely to shift meaning — splitting them up improves accuracy.
