Norwegian (Bokmål)

Norwegian Bokmål is one of two written standards for Norwegian and permits several spellings for many words, so consistency within a product matters more than choosing the single correct form.

Written in Latin · North Germanic family

Bokmål and Nynorsk are different written standards; content translated into Bokmål is not automatically acceptable to a Nynorsk audience.

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.
