Translators
Yandex Translate
The Yandex Translate page displays a text counter capped at 10,000, while its document page lists a 5 MB file limit. The service page promotes several translation formats, but those caps do not establish broader operating terms. People comparing translation tools may want to clarify commercial-use conditions and data handling before relying on them.

Free-use reports carry different scopes
Third-party descriptions differ in scope: one limits free access to personal, non-commercial use, while others use broader wording.
- ailist.ru — free for personal, non-commercial use — checked 2026-11-01.
- irecommend.ru — the reviewer describes the app as free of charge — checked 2026-11-01.
- toolfox.ru — lists Yandex Translate as free — checked 2026-11-01.
- toolfox.ru — also describes it as having a free version — checked 2026-11-01.
Words, photos, documents, and pages
Yandex Translate says it handles individual words, phrases, full texts, photos, documents, and web pages. The provider also describes translation between English, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Turkish, Russian, and other languages.
The mobile app’s described functions extend beyond text and images in third-party accounts. irecommend.ru lists website and conversation translation, while an apps.apple.com reviewer describes live photo translation and saved-word vocabulary learning. ailist.ru separately says the service supports more than 90 languages.
Microphone permission and document uploads
The service asks for browser microphone permission, according to Yandex Translate.
For document translation, Yandex Translate lists image, office-document, and PDF formats, including jpg, png, gif, doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, and pptx. The provider describes document translation from English, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Turkish, and other languages into Russian and vice versa. Its listed maximum file size is 5 MB.
Questions to put to support before registering
For commercial use, ask whether separate conditions apply and how they are documented. This distinguishes basic access from any terms attached to business use.
Ask what pricing, trial, and refund conditions apply to the intended use. A free-use description alone does not answer those questions.
Listed formats and access conditions

Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.
Useful for mixed translation formats
People needing text, photo, document, and web-page translation can compare those formats with their workflow. The service’s published document information also gives a file-size cap and supported extensions.
ailist.ru describes web access and mobile apps for iOS and Android, giving readers a third-party account of access methods. The reported app complaints concern specific experiences, not an independent evaluation of translation quality.
Compare translators by workflow and terms
In general, compare language coverage, text and file limits, access methods, pricing scope, privacy statements, API arrangements, and support. Check each provider’s published terms against the intended workflow.
What we could not confirm
- Pricing: plans, trial conditions, and refund terms
- Rules: terms of use and applicable restrictions
- Company details: legal entity, address, and history
- Support: available channels and response times
- Integrations: available options and setup requirements
Answers on files, access, and app reports
Which document formats does the service list?
Yandex Translate lists jpg, png, gif, doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, and pptx among supported document formats. The provider describes translation from English, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Turkish, and other languages into Russian and vice versa.
What file-size limit applies to documents?
The document page lists a file-size limit of up to 5 MB for supported files. The listed formats include jpg, png, gif, doc, docx, pdf, xls, xlsx, ppt, and pptx.
Does basic translation require registration or payment?
This is that third-party listing’s description of basic use, rather than a full pricing schedule from Yandex Translate.
What does ailist.ru say about commercial integrations?
According to ailist.ru, commercial integrations require a separate cloud API. This describes the integration condition in that listing, rather than providing setup instructions.
What app issues have reviewers reported?
On apps.apple.com, a reviewer reported frequent translation errors and words the app could not find; another described microphone interruptions during pauses. These are individual app-review reports, not a general assessment of service performance.
What did the offline-support review mention?
An apps.apple.com reviewer said the app lacked offline support for Czech. This records one reviewer’s report, not a comparison across languages or devices. The same platform also carries separate reports about updates and microphone behavior.
Proceed after the key terms are answered
Fits if… the required workflow uses the listed text, photo, document, or web-page formats.
Probably not if… the stated 10,000 text counter or 5 MB document cap does not fit the workload.
Main risk… the published format descriptions and caps do not by themselves establish how the service will operate for a particular use.
