Russian is an official language in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and many people across Eastern Europe and Central Asia understand it. An English to Russian translator helps with train tickets, apartment listings or a message to a colleague.
Russian is written in Cyrillic and changes the endings of nouns and adjectives across six cases, so the same word looks different depending on its role. Verbs come in pairs, one for an action in progress and one for a finished action, and TapTranslate translates both ways, so you can read a Russian reply and answer it in Russian.
Spoken by more than 200 million people, most of them in Russia, and widely used in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and across Central Asia.
Written in the Cyrillic alphabet of 33 letters, left to right.
Type or paste English and read it in Russian, or the other way around. Works online, and offline with a downloaded pack.
Speak in turns and hear each translation read aloud, when your iPhone supports Russian speech.
Point at printed Russian on a menu, a sign or a label and read it in English, drawn over the original.
Type in English in any app and send it in Russian with one tap.
Scan a letter or open a PDF and read every page translated, with the layout kept.
Everyday phrases and how to say them. TapTranslate translates anything else you need.

Russian has a casual ty and a polite vy, which is also the plural "you". Use vy with strangers, older people and at work, and switch to ty when the other person does.
Russian verbs come in pairs: ya chital means I was reading or used to read, ya prochital means I finished reading it. Make the English clear about whether something is done, and the translation can pick the right verb.
Nouns, including place names, change their endings with their role in the sentence: Moskva, but v Moskve (in Moscow) and iz Moskvy (from Moscow). A word copied from the middle of a Russian sentence may not match its dictionary form.
Answers specific to this language pair.
Yes. With Pro, download the Russian offline pack once and TapTranslate translates between English and Russian with no connection, on a long train ride or abroad without roaming. Offline packs need iOS 27 and an iPhone with at least 4 GB of memory.
Yes. Camera Translate reads printed Russian and draws the English translation over the Cyrillic text, so a metro map, a menu or a label reads in place. It works from English to Russian too.
No. Turn on the TapTranslate keyboard and type in English in Messages, WhatsApp or Mail; it replaces your text with the Russian translation in Cyrillic. It can also translate Russian text you copy from another app.
