Translate English to Czech
Send source_lang EN and target_lang CS and the API returns Czech text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Czech
Překlad by měl působit, jako by ho napsal člověk.
Example output produced by the vizvuz Engine and cached — not a hand-written translation.
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.
Czech
Czech has seven cases and a productive aspect system, so a single English verb often maps to two different Czech verbs depending on whether the action is completed.
Script: Latin · Family: West Slavic
Sentence fragments concatenated in code usually break, because the case ending depends on the surrounding sentence.
Formality in this pair
Vykání (plural vy) is the formal address, tykání (ty) the informal one; the choice changes verb endings throughout the sentence.
