Translate Italian to American English
Send source_lang IT and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Italian
Una traduzione dovrebbe essere letta come se fosse stata scritta da una persona.
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.
Italian
Italian marks gender and number on articles and adjectives and prefers longer sentences than English, so a terse English microcopy line often needs restructuring rather than word-for-word rendering.
Script: Latin · Family: Romance
Elision before a vowel changes the article itself; a hardcoded il or la in front of an interpolated noun is often wrong.
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.
