Greek
Μια μετάφραση θα πρέπει να διαβάζεται σαν να την έγραψε ένα άτομο.
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.
Greek
Greek keeps four cases and a rich verb morphology, and it is written in its own alphabet, which affects fonts, sorting and any regular expression written for Latin letters.
Script: Greek · Family: Hellenic
The final sigma ς differs from the medial σ; naive uppercasing and lowercasing round-trips corrupt the word.
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.
