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.

Slovak

Slovak is close enough to Czech that speakers understand each other, yet different enough in orthography and vocabulary that reusing Czech text is immediately recognisable as a shortcut.

Script: Latin · Family: West Slavic

The rhythmic law shortens a long vowel after a long syllable; text assembled from parts often violates it.

Formality in this pair

Vykanie with the plural vy is the formal address; tykanie with ty is informal.
