Why Every Other Hebrew Translator Fails
Hebrew has grammar rules that no general AI model handles correctly. Gender conjugation alone changes 80% of verbs. Slang and idioms are everywhere. Generic AI trained on 100 languages can't go deep enough on any single one.
⚧️
Gender Blindness
Hebrew verbs change based on speaker gender. Most translators always use the male form — making you sound wrong 50% of the time.
💬
Slang Failure
Israeli Hebrew is full of idioms, slang, and expressions that mean the opposite of their literal words. Generic AI translates literally — and gets it completely wrong.
🔤
No Pronunciation
Standard Hebrew text has no vowels. Generic AI can't reliably tell you how to actually say the words it translates.
HebrewCore™ vs. Generic AI — Real Examples
These are real translations. See why context-aware AI is not optional for Hebrew.
Generic AI / Google Translate
"Waste of time"
✗ Wrong
HebrewCore™ by baba
"Amazing — totally worth it!"
✓ Correct
Why: חבל על הזמן literally means waste of time, but in modern Israeli Hebrew it's enthusiastic praise.
Generic AI / Google Translate
"Ani ohev otcha" (male form — wrong)
✗ Wrong
HebrewCore™ by baba
"Ani ohevet otcha" (correct female form)
✓ Correct
Why: Hebrew verbs change based on the speaker's gender. Generic AI ignores this.
Generic AI / Google Translate
"He repels" (wrong word, wrong context)
✗ Wrong
HebrewCore™ by baba
"He's cool" (correct slang usage)
✓ Correct
Why: מגניב is a slang term for "cool" derived from a root meaning repel — only context makes it clear.

HebrewCore™ FAQ
What is HebrewCore™?
HebrewCore™ is baba's proprietary AI engine built specifically for Hebrew. It uses 2,700+ specialized prompts tuned for Hebrew grammar rules, gender conjugation, Israeli slang, cultural idioms, and contextual nuance that general-purpose AI models get wrong.
How is HebrewCore™ different from ChatGPT or Google Translate?
General AI models like GPT-4 or Google Translate treat Hebrew like any other language. HebrewCore™ was engineered exclusively for Hebrew — it knows that the same sentence sounds completely different based on who is speaking, to whom, in what context. It catches the errors that generic AI misses every time.
Does HebrewCore™ understand modern Israeli Hebrew?
Yes. HebrewCore™ covers modern Israeli Hebrew as spoken today — including street slang, social media language, military expressions, and contemporary idioms. It also handles formal and biblical Hebrew when needed.
How does HebrewCore™ handle Hebrew gender?
Hebrew is grammatically gendered — verbs, adjectives, and pronouns change based on whether the speaker is male or female, and whether you're addressing a male or female. HebrewCore™ automatically applies the correct gender form based on context, delivering translations that are actually correct, not just close.
Is HebrewCore™ available on both iOS and Android?
Yes. HebrewCore™ powers all translations in the baba app on both iOS and Android, as well as the web translator at itsbaba.com/translate.
