Translate English to Maltese
Send source_lang EN and target_lang MT and the API returns Maltese text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Maltese
Traduzzjoni għandha taqra bħallikieku persuna kitbitha.
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.
Maltese
Maltese is a Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet, with Arabic morphology and a vocabulary layered with Italian and English borrowings — the only such combination in the European Union.
Script: Latin · Family: Semitic
The letters ċ, ġ, ħ and ż are distinct letters; replacing them with ASCII equivalents changes the word.
Formality in this pair
Maltese has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
