Description

When I try to translate something to English it always responds with the original text and not the translated one.

Example:

In [1]: from translate import Translator
In [2]: translator= Translator(to_lang="en")
In [3]: translation = translator.translate("Waar bevindt zich het dichtbijzijnste treinstation?")
Out [3]: Waar bevindt zich het dichtbijzijnste treinstation?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown Translator(to_lang="en") example with the Dutch sentence, then inspect the Translator implementation used by the translate module. The work is done when the example returns English text rather than the original sentence and the behavior is verified against the reported case.
