Translating English to Russian
Russian marks grammatical role with case endings rather than word order, so every noun, adjective and pronoun changes shape depending on its function - six cases, three genders, singular and plural. That frees word order for emphasis, which means a translation mirroring English order is grammatical but emphasises the wrong thing. Verbs carry aspect: nearly every verb exists as a perfective and imperfective pair, and choosing between them expresses whether an action was completed - a distinction English handles with tense and context. Russian has no articles at all, so definiteness has to be carried by word order or dropped. The ты/вы split works like tu/vous. Cyrillic also contains letters that look Latin but are not, which breaks naive character handling.
