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.
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.
Formality in this pair
U is formal and je informal; Dutch consumer brands often deliberately use je where German brands would use Sie.
