On the sidenote, does anyone know what methods Yandex use? When I'm trying to translate Kyrgyz, Google Translate shows utter trash that makes less sense than if they chose words at random. Yandex in comparison is very impressive. What's the secret ingredient?

There is no secret ingredient, Yandex just put more effort into supporting languages that are spoken in ex-USSR countries, because that's the most important market for them.

Other translation tools do not consider i. e. Kyrgyzstan an important market therefore do not put much effort into supporting Kyrgyz.
