Translate English to Icelandic
Send source_lang EN and target_lang IS and the API returns Icelandic text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Icelandic
Þýðing ætti að lesast eins og manneskja hafi skrifað hana.
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.
Icelandic
Icelandic preserves four cases and three genders lost elsewhere in Scandinavia and coins native words rather than borrowing, so technical vocabulary is genuinely Icelandic.
Script: Latin · Family: North Germanic
The letters þ and ð are ordinary letters, not decorations; systems that strip non-ASCII destroy the text.
Formality in this pair
Icelandic has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
