Hi, I also have this issue. Tried "Hello" with deepl-node package and got source language NB - Norwegian (Bokmål). When use on site translator it returned English language detection.

Any help on this?

Hi, the browser has more information than the API to infer the correct source language, and as a result the API needs a few words (not just 1) to detect the language reliably. If at all possible, please set the source language when translating single words or very short phrases, or provide a longer sentence to translate. Please let me know if this is not possible - we are always looking to improve our translations.
