About Google translator.

In Google translate I am translating from Chinese to English. How do I do for a part of the sentence to be translated remains the original chinese characters, other part of the sentence translate to target language that in my case is English.

As far as I know, you need to do that by hand. You put the whole sentence into Google Translate, copy the entire translation to whereever you want to use it; then you copy the part of the Chinese sentence you want to use and paste it to where you want to have it.

 

Note that Google Translate is a useful tool for getting an idea of what a foreign-language text is about, but it often doesn't generate a 100% accurate translation. Use with caution.

Use Baidu translate or Bing translate.  google translate sucks.  Just the other day I tried using them after a long absence and it insisted on translating Chinese to a Japanese word instead.  Useless.

 

Or there is a character-by-character translate at https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=translate

 

 

Which I always found more useful anyway.

Try to use Baidu or Youdao, but not Google.

Youdao Translate, eh? Never heard of it. Will try. Thanks! Baidu  Translate's app has been getting super annoying and in your face with ads, even after I paid for a month of it.

Explain it to chatgpt. I am sure it will do a great job

That costs money and I'm not a subscriber.

Speaking of which, Youdao Translate hit me up for a ¥69 annual subscription fee the first time I tried it. Wouldn't translate anything without it.  Oh well, not paying for a product sight unseen.  Uninstalled the app. I will still try the web page though.
