Russian

Russian has six cases, three genders and no articles, so definiteness that English carries in the word "the" has to be expressed through word order or left implicit.

Written in Cyrillic · East Slavic family

Russian has one, few, many and other plural categories, and the rule depends on the last two digits; test 1, 2, 5, 11 and 21.

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.
