Key features

Not just translation — understanding context

Bidirectional translation

English ↔ Russian for words, phrases and expressions

Dictionary with stemming

Finds a word in any form

Corpus examples

Real sentences from an indexed text corpus

Pronunciation

Transcription and speech for English phrases

AI translation

Privacy and speed

AI translation persists neither prompts nor results: provider requests go directly, with endpoint validation and redirects rejected. Provider keys are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and never serialized. OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic providers are supported, configurable by the administrator.\n\nTranslation pages combine dictionary data with corpus examples, and rendered context is cached — so the service stays fast even on popular queries.\n\nTranslation history and practice progress are stored locally in the user's browser.
