Send source_lang CS and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Czech
Překlad by měl působit, jako by ho napsal člověk.
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.
Czech
Czech has seven cases and a productive aspect system, so a single English verb often maps to two different Czech verbs depending on whether the action is completed.
Script: Latin · Family: West Slavic
Sentence fragments concatenated in code usually break, because the case ending depends on the surrounding sentence.
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.
