It took me here to find out the translation of one word. I opened the first online translator from Yandex and the result, I must say, was not very satisfied, since there were links to options from competitors in it, but they were not very good either. Perhaps the hypothesis of the first was the best, or this name has no practical meaning at all.
I probably used the translator from Microsoft for the first time and could not help but notice that its interface is lonely pressed to the left edge like a site from the 90s, although it draws some kind of effects, i.e. for other signs, it works (and slows down :) like a modern one. No, at first I, of course, drew attention to the rotten-looking fonts, and only then the eye began to catch other features.

Then I remembered that the icon of Russian web design taught us that in any incomprehensible situation, the design should be pressed to the left edge, and not located in the center. However, the translator of Yandex and Google look more comfortable to use by scaling all the elements of their interface to match the resolution. Here, compare:

And if the screen is UltraHD or higher, a piece of the interface pressed to the edge will become more crowded, as if reproaching the user for wastefulness?

I also noticed that Yandex suddenly looks pretty decent and I, in the wake of surprise, I decided to check all three interfaces by responding by compressing the browser window to a minimum. This can happen if you open the site from a mobile phone.

And then it became clear that Yandex was just a compromise;)

I don’t know if there was an attempt to sharpen the interface for mobile devices. It is possible that it was "almost." Perhaps they want everyone to use the mobile application. Then I opened the translate in the phone and the interface turned out to be as it should. So they give away a special mobile version. I don’t know how correct this is, probably, nevertheless, in a good way, no. It is clear that it was fashionable to do this once and everyone did a separate version that was given for mobile devices, but this is at least extra work and crutches and potential unexpected discoveries for users like mine. It may be appropriate for the "site" drawn in Photoshop and mastering the project budget, but it is unlikely for the application interface.

But with Google everything is in good faith:

The main elements are lined up one below the other in cards. The rest is adapted by pressing with thick fingers. Use has become perhaps even more convenient.

Well, Microsoft, as always, has a simple refusal, you are not here:

The interface has remained statically moved outside the window. There are no jambs anywhere, there’s nothing to dismiss, but it will be difficult to use this on any modern devices. It was hard to say whether it was developed for reasons of the “unnecessaryness” of small screens, relevant at that time, before the spread of mobile devices and browsers. Probably, it would be right for them not to stop the development of the project, including its front-end part, adapting to a changing market, but apparently this is not quite the case.
