Send source_lang FI and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Finnish
Käännöksen tulisi lukea kuin ihminen olisi sen kirjoittanut.
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.
Finnish
Finnish has fifteen cases and builds words by agglutination, so a single Finnish word regularly replaces an English prepositional phrase of four or five words.
Script: Latin · Family: Finnic
Extremely long single words break layouts that rely on word wrapping; allow hyphenation or overflow handling.
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.
