English to Hebrew translator

English to Hebrew translation with the register set first

Paste English and get Hebrew back with the register set the way you want it. Modern Hebrew has no polite 'you': 'אתה' (to a man) and 'את' (to a woman) are used with everyone. The selector decides the vocabulary and sentence shape before the translation is made, and any name or term you mark as kept is passed through untouched.

How to translate English to Hebrew

Three steps. The second is the one most translators skip.

Paste or upload the English

Type, paste or drop in a document. English is already selected as the source on this page; if the text turns out to be something else, the detector says so above the editor and you can change it.

Set the register and mark the names to keep

Pick Formal or Informal from the register selector beside the language names, or leave it on Match source tone to follow the English original. Select any name, brand or product term and press Keep so it is passed through as written.

Translate, then check it

Read the Hebrew if you can. If you cannot, back-translate it: run the result through Hebrew to English and compare the meaning, sentence by sentence, with what you started from.

What changes between English and Hebrew

The differences that decide whether a translation reads as written by a person.

Script and directionEnglish is written in Latin; Hebrew in Hebrew, right to left. The two run in opposite directions, so a translated document needs its layout checked, not just its words.
Word orderEnglish is subject-verb-object; Hebrew is subject-verb-object. The orders match, which removes one whole class of error, but idiom and agreement still have to be handled.
How politeness is markedModern Hebrew has no polite 'you': 'אתה' (to a man) and 'את' (to a woman) are used with everyone. Formality comes from vocabulary and sentence structure, and from titles in official writing.
Formality in EnglishEnglish has no separate polite and familiar 'you'. Register lives in vocabulary and sentence shape instead: 'Could you let me know' against 'Tell me', 'purchase' against 'buy'.

Where translation into Hebrew goes wrong

Three things Hebrew readers notice at once, and a machine has to be told about.

Right-to-left, unvowelled

Hebrew is written right to left, normally without vowel points; layout and mixed-direction text (Hebrew with English terms or numbers) are where a translated page breaks.

Gendered 'you' and verbs

'You' and every verb form are gendered, so an English sentence addressed to an unknown reader has no neutral Hebrew rendering; the translation has to choose or rephrase.

No present-tense 'to be'

Present-tense verbs agree in gender and number like adjectives, and there is no verb 'to be' in the present tense.

What has to be read correctly in the English first

Errors that start on the source side, before a single Hebrew word is chosen.

'You' is ambiguous

'You' is ambiguous: one person or several, a friend or a stranger. Translators guess, and a guess in the wrong direction is the single most common way an English original lands badly.

Stacked nouns

English piles up nouns ('customer data retention policy'); most languages need those unpacked into phrases, and a literal rendering is unreadable.

Phrasal verbs and idioms

Phrasal verbs ('put up with', 'look into') and idioms are translated word by word by weaker systems.

English to Hebrew translator FAQs

Is the English to Hebrew translator free?

Yes. Translate English to Hebrew without an account, within the per-run word allowance shown beside the editor. Signing in raises it, and Pro removes the guest limits and the ads. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.

How does the register selector work for Hebrew?

Modern Hebrew has no polite 'you': 'אתה' (to a man) and 'את' (to a woman) are used with everyone. Formality comes from vocabulary and sentence structure, and from titles in official writing. The selector still matters: Formal produces the vocabulary and sentence shapes a Hebrew reader expects in official or business writing, Informal the everyday ones, and Match source tone keeps whatever the English original was doing.

Will it translate names, brands and product terms?

Not unless you want it to. Select a name or a term in the editor and press Keep, and it is passed through exactly as written. This matters for English to Hebrew because names are otherwise re-spelled in Hebrew script by sound, and two runs can spell the same name two ways.

How accurate is machine translation from English to Hebrew?

Good enough to understand a document, answer an email or draft a reply, and it improves when you set the register and mark the names as kept first. It is not a substitute for a human translator on a contract, a medical document or anything with legal weight. The reliable way to check a translation you cannot read is to back-translate it: paste the Hebrew result into a new run set to English and see whether the meaning survived.

Can I translate a whole document from English to Hebrew?

Yes. Drop in a .docx, .pdf or .txt file, or paste the text; the output keeps the paragraph structure and can be copied, edited in place or exported. Hebrew is written right to left, and the editor lays the result out that way.

Can I translate Hebrew to English as well?

Yes. Use the Hebrew to English translator, or press the swap button between the two language names on this page. Either way the register and the kept terms come with you.

After the translation

Check the English before you translate it, or shift the register of the result once it is in Hebrew. One plan covers every tool.
