American English

A translation should read as if a person wrote it.

Irish

Irish uses verb-subject-object order and mutates the initial consonant of words for grammatical reasons, which means the first letter of a word is not stable across contexts.

Script: Latin · Family: Celtic

Initial mutation defeats prefix search and alphabetical grouping; index on the unmutated root if you need either.

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.
