Icelandic

Icelandic preserves four cases and three genders lost elsewhere in Scandinavia and coins native words rather than borrowing, so technical vocabulary is genuinely Icelandic.

Written in Latin · North Germanic family

The letters þ and ð are ordinary letters, not decorations; systems that strip non-ASCII destroy the text.

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.

Sie and du are a real decision with legal and commercial weight; formality: more selects Sie and the matching imperative forms.
