DeepL or
Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.

Mordkhe Veynger (Russian: Мордхе Вейнгер; 1890–1929), more infrequently known as Mikhail Borisovich Veynger (Russian: Михаил Борисович Вейнгер) was a Russian and Soviet linguist. An ethnic Jew, he specialised in the study of the Yiddish language.[1]
Born in Poltava, Russian Empire (now in Ukraine), his family moved to Warsaw when he was a child, where he studied Germanic philology at the Imperial University of Warsaw.[1] After World War I he established himself at Minsk where he became lecturer at the Belarusian State University.[1]
He began the first Yiddish dialect atlas in the 1920s. The atlas is limited to phonology and to Yiddish spoken within the territory of the Soviet Union in 1931.[2]
