Translate English to Swedish
Send source_lang EN and target_lang SV and the API returns Swedish text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Swedish
En översättning bör läsas som om en person skrivit den.
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.
Swedish
Swedish compounds nouns into single words and has a common and a neuter gender that determine article and adjective forms, which makes interpolated nouns risky.
Script: Latin · Family: North Germanic
Failing to compound is a visible error: "kund tjänst" instead of "kundtjänst" reads as broken Swedish, not as a typo.
Formality in this pair
The du-reform of the 1960s made du universal; formality: more produces a polite register rather than the archaic ni.
