Translate English to Croatian
Send source_lang EN and target_lang HR and the API returns Croatian text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Croatian
Prijevod bi trebao biti napisan kao da ga je osoba napisala.
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.
Croatian
Croatian has seven cases, three genders and a dual-like paucal for the numbers two to four, which makes plural handling in software materially harder than in English.
Script: Latin · Family: South Slavic
CLDR gives Croatian one, few and other plural categories; a two-form plural implementation produces wrong text for 2, 3 and 4.
Formality in this pair
The plural Vi is the formal address and is capitalised when addressing one person.
