Send source_lang RU and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Russian
Перевод должен читаться так, как будто его написал человек.
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.
Russian
Russian has six cases, three genders and no articles, so definiteness that English carries in the word "the" has to be expressed through word order or left implicit.
Script: Cyrillic · Family: East Slavic
Russian has one, few, many and other plural categories, and the rule depends on the last two digits; test 1, 2, 5, 11 and 21.
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.
