Translate English to Basque
Send source_lang EN and target_lang EU and the API returns Basque text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Basque
Itzulpen batek pertsonak idatzitakoa bezala irakurri behar du.
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.
Basque
Basque is a language isolate unrelated to any other in Europe, with ergative-absolutive alignment and verb forms that agree with up to three arguments at once, so sentence structure has no Indo-European parallel.
Script: Latin · Family: Isolate
The ergative marker attaches to the subject; a sentence template that swaps in a name without the ending is ungrammatical.
Formality in this pair
Zu is the standard address and berorí an archaic respectful form; formality: more selects a formal register rather than a separate pronoun set.
