Example output produced by the vizvuz Engine and cached — not a hand-written translation.
German
German compounds nouns into single words and puts finite verbs at the end of subordinate clauses, so translated strings run roughly ten to thirty-five per cent longer than the English source.
Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic
Compound nouns overflow narrow buttons and table headers; test the German build at your smallest breakpoint before release.
Greek
Greek keeps four cases and a rich verb morphology, and it is written in its own alphabet, which affects fonts, sorting and any regular expression written for Latin letters.
Script: Greek · Family: Hellenic
The final sigma ς differs from the medial σ; naive uppercasing and lowercasing round-trips corrupt the word.
Formality in this pair
The plural εσείς is the polite address; formality: more also shifts vocabulary towards the formal katharevousa-influenced register.
