German
German compounds nouns into single words and puts finite verbs at the end of subordinate clauses, so translated strings run roughly ten to thirty-five per cent longer than the English source.
Written in Latin · West Germanic family
Compound nouns overflow narrow buttons and table headers; test the German build at your smallest breakpoint before release.
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.
Written in Latin · West Germanic family
British and American spelling, date order and vocabulary differ enough to matter; choose EN-GB or EN-US explicitly instead of bare EN.
Formality for this pair
American English does not distinguish formal from informal address, so the formality parameter is accepted but has no effect.
