Translate Icelandic to American English
Send source_lang IS and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Icelandic
Þýðing ætti að lesast eins og manneskja hafi skrifað hana.
American 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.
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.
American 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
American English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
