Translate German to British English
Send source_lang DE and target_lang EN-GB and the API returns British English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
German
Eine Übersetzung sollte sich so lesen, als hätte eine Person sie geschrieben.
British 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.
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.
British 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
British English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
