Dutch

Dutch compounds nouns like German but keeps a simpler case system, and it runs roughly ten to twenty per cent longer than English in running text.

Script: Latin · Family: West Germanic

The digraph ij is a single letter for capitalisation: IJsland, not Ijsland. Title-casing routines get this wrong by default.

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.

Formality in this pair

Sie and du are a real decision with legal and commercial weight; formality: more selects Sie and the matching imperative forms.
