4. Google Translate (translate.google.com)

• Best for full sentences, paragraphs, documents.
• Neural MT (GNMT) — decent for general text; struggles with poetry, nuance, cultural terms.
• Camera input, voice, handwriting.
• Not a dictionary — no definitions, usage notes, alternatives.

Best Practice

• Use Glosbe/Dict.cc/Aryanpour for word-level: meaning, usage, examples.
• Use Google Translate for gisting longer text.
• Cross-check — Persian has register (formal/colloquial), regional (Iran/Dari/Tajik) differences.
• Learn the script — transliteration loses nuance.
