Send source_lang UK and target_lang EN-US and the API returns American English text. Here is what makes this pair different from the others.
Ukrainian
Переклад має читатися так, ніби його написала людина.
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.
Ukrainian
Ukrainian has seven cases including a distinct vocative, and it differs from Russian in vocabulary and phonology enough that treating the two as interchangeable is both wrong and offensive.
Script: Cyrillic · Family: East Slavic
The Ukrainian letters і, ї, є and ґ do not exist in the Russian alphabet; a Russian-only font subset renders them as boxes.
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.
