Translate English to European Portuguese

Send source_lang EN and target_lang PT-PT and the API returns European Portuguese text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.

English

A translation should read as if a person wrote it.

European Portuguese

Uma tradução deve ser lida como se tivesse sido escrita por uma pessoa.

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.

European Portuguese

Portuguese differs enough between Portugal and Brazil in vocabulary, verb usage and pronoun placement that translating for one audience and shipping to the other is noticeable immediately.

Script: Latin · Family: Romance

Choose PT-PT or PT-BR explicitly; bare PT resolves to PT-PT and will read as foreign to a Brazilian audience.

Formality in this pair

Você, o senhor and a senhora carry different weight in Brazil and Portugal; formality: more chooses the polite form for the selected variant.
