Portuguese
Portuguese differs enough between Portugal and Brazil in vocabulary, verb usage and pronoun placement that translating for one audience and shipping to the other is noticeable immediately.
Script: Latin · Family: Romance
Choose PT-PT or PT-BR explicitly; bare PT resolves to PT-PT and will read as foreign to a Brazilian 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.
