Translate Catalan to American English
Send source_lang CA and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Catalan
Una traducció hauria de llegir-se com si l'hagués escrit una persona.
American English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Example output produced by the vizvuz Engine and cached — not a hand-written translation.
Catalan
Catalan is a full Romance language, not a dialect of Spanish, with its own orthography, weak pronoun system and a middle dot in the geminated l·l that is a real character.
Script: Latin · Family: Romance
The l·l ligature uses U+00B7; replacing it with a full stop or removing it misspells every word that contains it.
American English
English is the shortest of the supported languages in almost every measurement, which is why interfaces designed in English tend to break when translated into anything else.
Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic
British and American spelling, date order and vocabulary differ enough to matter; choose EN-GB or EN-US explicitly instead of bare EN.
Formality in this pair
American English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
