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.
Russian
Russian has six cases, three genders and no articles, so definiteness that English carries in the word "the" has to be expressed through word order or left implicit.
Script: Cyrillic · Family: East Slavic
Russian has one, few, many and other plural categories, and the rule depends on the last two digits; test 1, 2, 5, 11 and 21.
Formality in this pair
Вы is the formal address and is capitalised when addressing one person in writing; ты is informal.
