Translate English to Irish
Send source_lang EN and target_lang GA and the API returns Irish text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Irish
Ba chóir go léifeadh aistriúchán amhail is dá mba dhuine a scríobh é.
Example output produced by the vizvuz Engine and cached — not a hand-written translation.
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.
Irish
Irish uses verb-subject-object order and mutates the initial consonant of words for grammatical reasons, which means the first letter of a word is not stable across contexts.
Script: Latin · Family: Celtic
Initial mutation defeats prefix search and alphabetical grouping; index on the unmutated root if you need either.
Formality in this pair
Irish has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
