Russian

Russian has six cases, three genders and no articles, so definiteness that English carries in the word "the" has to be expressed through word order or left implicit.

Script: Cyrillic · Family: East Slavic

Russian has one, few, many and other plural categories, and the rule depends on the last two digits; test 1, 2, 5, 11 and 21.

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.
