The help says

    Translate TEXT from SOURCE-LANGUAGE to TARGET-LANGUAGE.

so it isn't stated what form should be used. "sv",
"en", "da", and "de" are not languages
but designations.

And regardless of whatever, when a language is inputed
that isn't recognized, the program should (fail to)
verify the input and say this doesn't make sense,
instead of displaying br0ken data.

Now it is even more confusing as it seems to work in
the first case, but not in the subsequent ones.
