Latvian

Latvian has seven cases and two genders, and it adapts foreign proper nouns to its own morphology, so brand names may legitimately appear with Latvian endings attached.

Written in Latin · Baltic family

The zero plural takes a distinct form; a naive one-or-other plural produces wrong text for counts of zero.

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.
