Japanese uses Japanese kana and kanji while English uses Latin. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling โ copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
Japanese belongs to the Japonic family while English belongs to the Indo-European family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Japanese 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.
