American English
A translation should read as if a person wrote it.

Basque
Basque is a language isolate unrelated to any other in Europe, with ergative-absolutive alignment and verb forms that agree with up to three arguments at once, so sentence structure has no Indo-European parallel.
Script: Latin · Family: Isolate
The ergative marker attaches to the subject; a sentence template that swaps in a name without the ending is ungrammatical.
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.
