Translate English to Slovenian
Send source_lang EN and target_lang SL and the API returns Slovenian text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Slovenian
Prevajanje naj se bere, kot da ga je napisal človek.
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.
Slovenian
Slovenian is one of the few living languages with a fully productive dual number, so it needs a distinct form for exactly two of anything, in addition to singular and plural.
Script: Latin · Family: South Slavic
The dual makes four plural categories mandatory: one, two, few and other. Two-form plural code is wrong for every count of two.
Formality in this pair
Vi is the formal address; Slovenian business writing also uses the polite onikanje in very traditional registers.
