Diglot is built for people who think in one language and write in English: draft bilingually and fix the lines that sound non-native, all in one editor.
I first noticed the gap between what I can read in English and what I can write in it while translating my own thesis abstract. The sentence that took an afternoon in Ukrainian took three days in English, and it still sounded like a translation rather than an argument.
That gap is what I want to study. My undergraduate work compared hedging strategies in Ukrainian and English research prose, and the pattern I found — that Ukrainian writers under-hedge in English by roughly a third — is why I am applying here (Tufanova, 2022).

The trouble usually isn’t typos — your English wears the fingerprint of your first language. Diglot reads these as L1-transfer patterns and explains the fix.
Diglot goes after the tells — literal calques, collocations no native would pick, word order carried over from your language — and rewrites them into English that sounds native while your meaning stays put.
Each fix names the habit from your first language that caused it — the Spanish false friend, the missing English article — so you start catching it yourself and your first drafts get cleaner.
Translate, rewrite, and check grammar in a single document. Nothing gets copy-pasted into DeepL or QuillBot and pasted back, so the context never breaks.
These prepared examples illustrate possible edits, not live results. You decide which wording fits your intended meaning.
According to my point of view, the experimental data what we received yesterday is doing a great improvement to our study because it permits us to explain the phenomenon completely without any doubt.
In our assessment, yesterday’s experimental findings substantially advance the study by providing empirical validation for the observed phenomenon without ambiguity.
Actually, we are finishing the third phase of the project. If your department has any doubt about the delivery date, we invite you to assist to the presentation on Friday where we will discuss about it.
We are currently concluding Phase 3 of the project. If your team has questions regarding the delivery timeline, we encourage you to attend Friday’s briefing where we will discuss next steps.
Taking into consideration the fact that our partners are demanding higher reliability, which was discussed during the previous meeting that took place in June, it is of the utmost importance that we should take into account all possibilities to optimize the code.
In response to partner reliability requirements established in June, the engineering team is prioritizing code optimization across core modules to minimize latency and ensure stability.

Yes — that’s precisely who it’s for. Diglot treats non-native English as carrying predictable patterns from your first language and corrects them with the reason attached, rather than flagging them like random slips. It also keeps translation, rewriting, and grammar in one editor, which is the workflow non-native writers actually run.
Grammarly is aimed at people who already think in English and want it tidier. Diglot is aimed at people who think in another language first. It supports bilingual drafting, ties each correction back to your first language, and hunts specifically for translated-sounding phrasing rather than surface grammar alone. If you’re a native English writer, Grammarly is fine; if you’re not, Diglot fits the actual problem better.
Yes — it’s one of the main jobs. Diglot rewrites literal translations, off collocations, and translated rhythm into natural English and tells you why the original read wrong. Because the feedback is grounded in your L1 rather than generic rules, your first drafts keep getting closer over time.
Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic get the deepest treatment, with contrastive grammar data behind the explanations; fourteen more languages have partial coverage. Any language pair works for drafting and translation — the L1-aware detail is simply richest for those six, and the list keeps growing.
Yes. A free plan covers bilingual editing, grammar, translation, and paraphrasing. Spark ($19/mo) and Pro ($34/mo) raise the quotas and add premium models. The Authorship Certificate is free on every plan.

Writing in English when it's not your first language is hard — but not because your ideas are weak. Here are 7 practical strategies to write faster, clearer, and more confidently.
Most "Grammarly alternatives" are monolingual English engines that assume you already think in English. For non-native writers, the real need is bilingual, L1-aware help. Here are eight tools compared on the axes that actually matter.
For non-native professionals, the barrier to credible business English is not grammar — it is register, directness, and concision. Here are the few learnable conventions that fix most of it, with before-and-after examples you can use today.
Writing English as a non-native speaker isn’t mostly a grammar problem — it’s a transfer problem. Your English inherits the shape of your first language. A Korean or Russian writer drops articles the language never used. ” A Chinese writer lets tense flatten out. Everyone produces the translated rhythm that makes prose feel secondhand. Generic tools flag the symptom on the surface and skip the cause, so you fix the same thing paper after paper. Diglot is built for non-native writers from the ground up.
It lets you draft in your first language and produce the English in the same editor, it targets the exact phrasing that reads translated, and it attaches the reason your L1 caused each error — so the feedback teaches rather than just marks. Translation, rewriting, and grammar share one document, so you’re not copy-pasting between a translator, a grammar checker, and a paraphraser and losing your place each time. What comes out reads as your own voice in English, not a translation of it.
