Slovenian
Slovenian is one of the few living languages with a fully productive dual number, so it needs a distinct form for exactly two of anything, in addition to singular and plural.
Script: Latin · Family: South Slavic
The dual makes four plural categories mandatory: one, two, few and other. Two-form plural code is wrong for every count of two.
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.
