For rare languages we have to use translate.google.com (109 languages) or translate.yandex.ru (100 languages).
In case you do not know what language you are translating from (and Google/Yandex work wrong), detect it with:
translatedlabs.com
whatlanguageisthis.com

Large volumes of text, especially those combining several languages, are easy to translate using Google Sheets and special functions:
=DETECTLANGUAGE(A1)
=GOOGLETRANSLATE("A1"; "en")
Languages in #osint🧵⤵️⤴️
=DETECTLANGUAGE(A1)
=GOOGLETRANSLATE("A1"; "en")
Languages in #osint🧵⤵️⤴️
And if you need to type in a foreign language (for example, for a Google search), use the virtual online keyboard:
lexilogos.com
Languages in #osint🧵⤵️⤴️
lexilogos.com

And this service will help you see what language prevails in a particular country (and at the same time listen to how its name sounds in different languages).

And for some languages there are even applications for identifiers, which by recording the speech determine which region the person is from (but they are not accurate and exist more for fun):

When examining social media posts or other writings of the subject under study, pay special attention to "strange words" and abbreviations. Specific slang can tell you a lot about a person's hobbies, profession, and interests.
