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.
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.
