A literal translation of Persian often misses the point. 'Ghaabeli nadaare' (it's not worth anything) is what a shopkeeper says before you pay; 'dastet dard nakone' (may your hand not hurt) simply means thank you. This ritual courtesy, called taarof, runs through everyday Persian. The language also has no 'he' or 'she' - just او - so English needs context to choose. translator.im reads the whole message and gives you English that carries the intent, not just the words.

Three things that help Persian come through clearly in English.
Because او means both 'he' and 'she', a sentence like 'او دیروز آمد' could be either. Leave names and earlier sentences in so the English uses the right pronoun.
Finglish spelling varies a lot ('khoobi', 'khubi', 'xubi'). If something comes out odd, try the same text in Persian script or add a little context.
Persian poetry is full of wordplay. If you're studying a poem, translate it once normally, then ask for a 'literal line-by-line translation' to see what each word is doing.
