Italian

Italian marks gender and number on articles and adjectives and prefers longer sentences than English, so a terse English microcopy line often needs restructuring rather than word-for-word rendering.

Written in Latin · Romance family

Elision before a vowel changes the article itself; a hardcoded il or la in front of an interpolated noun is often wrong.

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.
