Translate English to Latvian
Send source_lang EN and target_lang LV and the API returns Latvian text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Latvian
Tulkojumam vajadzētu lasīties tā, it kā to būtu rakstījis cilvēks.
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.
Latvian
Latvian has seven cases and two genders, and it adapts foreign proper nouns to its own morphology, so brand names may legitimately appear with Latvian endings attached.
Script: Latin · Family: Baltic
The zero plural takes a distinct form; a naive one-or-other plural produces wrong text for counts of zero.
Formality in this pair
Jūs is the formal address; Latvian official writing capitalises it when addressing one person.
