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.
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.
