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.
Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic
Compound nouns overflow narrow buttons and table headers; test the German build at your smallest breakpoint before release.
French
French runs fifteen to twenty per cent longer than English and requires non-breaking spaces before high punctuation, which is a typographic rule and not a preference.
Script: Latin · Family: Romance
The space before ; : ! ? must be a narrow no-break space; a plain space causes the punctuation to wrap onto the next line.
Formality in this pair
Vous and tu are distinct registers; French commercial writing uses vous almost universally.
