French

French runs fifteen to twenty per cent longer than English and requires non-breaking spaces before high punctuation, which is a typographic rule and not a preference.

Written in Latin · Romance family

The space before ; : ! ? must be a narrow no-break space; a plain space causes the punctuation to wrap onto the next line.

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.
