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.

Dutch

Dutch compounds nouns like German but keeps a simpler case system, and it runs roughly ten to twenty per cent longer than English in running text.

Written in Latin · West Germanic family
