English to Ukrainian translator
English to Ukrainian translation with the register set first
Paste English and get Ukrainian back with the register already decided: ти for people you know, ви / Ви for everyone else. Most translators make that choice for you and do not mention it. This one asks first, because in Ukrainian it changes the grammar of every sentence, and a translation that gets it wrong is fluent and still wrong.
How to translate English to Ukrainian
Three steps. The second is the one most translators skip.
1
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.
2
Set the register and mark the names to keep
Pick ви / Ви or ти from the register selector beside the language names, or leave it on Match source tone to follow the English. Select any name, brand or product term in the text and press Keep so it is not translated.
3
Translate, then check it
Read the Ukrainian if you can. If you cannot, back-translate it: run the result through Ukrainian to English and compare the meaning, sentence by sentence, with what you started from.
What changes between English and Ukrainian
The differences that decide whether a translation reads as written by a person.
Script and directionEnglish is written in Latin; Ukrainian in Cyrillic. Names cross between scripts by sound, which is why freezing them matters.
Word orderEnglish is subject-verb-object; Ukrainian is flexible; subject-verb-object is the neutral order. Sentences are rebuilt, not mapped word for word, and long sentences are where a weak translator loses the thread.
How politeness is markedUkrainian separates 'ти' (familiar) from 'ви' (polite, and plural); 'Ви' is capitalised in formal letters to one person, and the vocative case is used when addressing someone by name.
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 Ukrainian goes wrong
Three things Ukrainian readers notice at once, and a machine has to be told about.
Ukrainian is not Russian
Ukrainian is not Russian: the letters ґ, є, і and ї, much of the everyday vocabulary and the vocative case are distinct, and a model that leans on Russian produces text Ukrainians recognise as wrong.
Seven cases
Seven cases change endings on nouns, adjectives and names.
Aspect
Verb aspect (perfective and imperfective) decides whether an action is complete; English tense does not map onto it directly.
What has to be read correctly in the English first
Errors that start on the source side, before a single Ukrainian 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.

Should I translate into Ukrainian as ви / Ви or ти?
Ukrainian separates 'ти' (familiar) from 'ви' (polite, and plural); 'Ви' is capitalised in formal letters to one person, and the vocative case is used when addressing someone by name. Use ти for friends, family and people who have used it with you; use ви / Ви for customers, officials, employers and anyone you have not met. The register selector sets this before the translation is made, so the grammar comes out right the first time rather than being patched afterwards.
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 Ukrainian because names are otherwise re-spelled in Cyrillic script by sound, and two runs can spell the same name two ways.
How accurate is machine translation from English to Ukrainian?
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 Ukrainian result into a new run set to English and see whether the meaning survived.
Can I translate a whole document from English to Ukrainian?
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.
Can I translate Ukrainian to English as well?
Yes. Use the Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian. One plan covers every tool.
