Translate English to Dutch
Send source_lang EN and target_lang NL and the API returns Dutch text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Dutch
Een vertaling moet lezen alsof een persoon het heeft geschreven.
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.
Dutch
Dutch compounds nouns like German but keeps a simpler case system, and it runs roughly ten to twenty per cent longer than English in running text.
Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic
The digraph ij is a single letter for capitalisation: IJsland, not Ijsland. Title-casing routines get this wrong by default.
Formality in this pair
U is formal and je informal; Dutch consumer brands often deliberately use je where German brands would use Sie.
