Translate English to Norwegian (Bokmål)
Send source_lang EN and target_lang NB and the API returns Norwegian (Bokmål) text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.
Norwegian (Bokmål)
En oversettelse bør leses som om en person har skrevet den.
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.
Norwegian (Bokmål)
Norwegian Bokmål is one of two written standards for Norwegian and permits several spellings for many words, so consistency within a product matters more than choosing the single correct form.
Script: Latin · Family: North Germanic
Bokmål and Nynorsk are different written standards; content translated into Bokmål is not automatically acceptable to a Nynorsk audience.
Formality in this pair
De as a formal address is archaic; formality: more yields a polite register rather than a separate pronoun.
