Example Sentences API

healthy 4,409 Subscribers

Real example sentences with human translations as an API — powered by Tatoeba, the large collaborative corpus of millions of sentences in hundreds of languages, each linked to translations contributed and reviewed by real people (not machine translation). Search for sentences containing a word or phrase in one language and get how they are actually translated into another — perfect for seeing a word "in the wild", building vocabulary and flashcards, or as a human-quality translation aid. Look up any sentence by id to get its full set of translations. From "good morning" in English to its German, French, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin equivalents, across ISO-639-3 languages, it is ideal for language-learning, vocabulary, flashcard, dictionary-companion and linguistics applications. A human-translated example-sentence corpus — distinct from dictionaries (definitions), machine translation and word APIs. Open data from Tatoeba (CC-BY 2.0 FR / CC0).

Localized Names API

Get the localized display name of a code in any language — countries and regions, languages, currencies, scripts and calendars. Pass a code, a type and a locale and the name endpoint returns the right name: US as region in fr gives "États-Unis", de as language in fr gives "allemand", EUR as currency gives "Euro", and the same code reads correctly in German, Japanese, Arabic or any other locale. The list endpoint returns every code of a type localized and sorted in that locale's collation — ideal for building a country, language or currency dropdown in any language. Powered by the platform's full ICU data (Intl.DisplayNames) and computed locally with no network calls. Built for internationalised forms and pickers, multilingual UIs, localized reports and onboarding. A localized-names resolver — distinct from country reference data in English (countries), number and currency formatting (numberformat) and locale date formatting (datelocale). No upstream key, no cache.

Languages API

Look up any language by its ISO 639-1 (two-letter) or ISO 639-2 (three-letter) code or by name, search by English or native name, list every language with an optional right-to-left filter, or group languages by family. Each entry includes the ISO codes, English and native names, language family, a right-to-left flag and a Wikipedia link. Built on the open ISO 639 dataset and served entirely in-memory, so responses are instant and the service is always available. Ideal for internationalization and localization, language pickers and selectors, content tagging and developer tooling.
