Translate Croatian to American English
Send source_lang HR and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Croatian
Prijevod bi trebao biti napisan kao da ga je osoba napisala.
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.
Croatian
Croatian has seven cases, three genders and a dual-like paucal for the numbers two to four, which makes plural handling in software materially harder than in English.
Script: Latin · Family: South Slavic
CLDR gives Croatian one, few and other plural categories; a two-form plural implementation produces wrong text for 2, 3 and 4.
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.
