Translate Estonian to American English

Send source_lang ET and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.

Estonian

Tõlge peaks lugema nii, nagu oleks selle kirjutanud inimene.

American English

A translation should read as if a person wrote it.

Example output produced by the vizvuz Engine and cached — not a hand-written translation.

Estonian

Estonian has fourteen cases and no grammatical gender or future tense, so English sentences about future events are usually rendered with the present tense plus an adverb.

Script: Latin · Family: Finnic

Case endings attach directly to the noun, so interpolating a value into a fixed sentence frame produces ungrammatical output.

American 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.

Formality in this pair

American English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
