Translate Latvian to American English
Send source_lang LV and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Latvian
Tulkojumam vajadzētu lasīties tā, it kā to būtu rakstījis cilvēks.
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.
Latvian
Latvian has seven cases and two genders, and it adapts foreign proper nouns to its own morphology, so brand names may legitimately appear with Latvian endings attached.
Script: Latin · Family: Baltic
The zero plural takes a distinct form; a naive one-or-other plural produces wrong text for counts of zero.
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.
