Asking for a translation from something written in the Latin alphabet, but which is Hebrew, does not translate it into English. Conversely, translating things into languages that use non-Latin alphabets/syllabaries, such as Hebrew, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, and others, is useless for learning those languages if one can't read their alphabets! Could Google PLEASE offer the option of translating into EITHER the rendering used by native speakers OR a Latin-alphabet equivalent? As others have already noted, we also need a means of entering symbols that are NOT strictly Latin, such as letters with dots or circles or wavy lines over them, such as are found in Scandinavian and Spanish/Portuguese. Does anyone have ideas on how to prompt Google to fix this issue? While I like being able to translate my English into Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, etc., for my friends from nations using those languages, it is not helping me learn those languages **at all.**
