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.

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.

Formality for this pair

Icelandic does not distinguish formal from informal address, so the formality parameter is accepted but has no effect.
