Finnish

Käännöksen tulisi lukea kuin ihminen olisi sen kirjoittanut.

American English

A translation should read as if a person wrote it.

Finnish

Finnish has fifteen cases and builds words by agglutination, so a single Finnish word regularly replaces an English prepositional phrase of four or five words.

Script: Latin · Family: Finnic

Extremely long single words break layouts that rely on word wrapping; allow hyphenation or overflow handling.

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.

Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic

British and American spelling, date order and vocabulary differ enough to matter; choose EN-GB or EN-US explicitly instead of bare EN.

Formality in this pair

American English has no formality distinction to switch, so the formality parameter is accepted and ignored.
