German

Eine Übersetzung sollte sich so lesen, als hätte eine Person sie geschrieben.

Norwegian (Bokmål)

Norwegian Bokmål is one of two written standards for Norwegian and permits several spellings for many words, so consistency within a product matters more than choosing the single correct form.

Script: Latin · Family: North Germanic

Bokmål and Nynorsk are different written standards; content translated into Bokmål is not automatically acceptable to a Nynorsk audience.

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.

Formality in this pair

Sie and du are a real decision with legal and commercial weight; formality: more selects Sie and the matching imperative forms.
