About English and German
English (English) is written in the Latin script and spoken by about 1.5 billion, mainly in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India and most international organisations. US documents write dates month-first (04/10/2026 is April 10) while British and most other documents write them day-first, so check dates carefully when moving between regions.
German (Deutsch) is written in the Latin script and spoken by about 130 million, mainly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. German capitalises every noun and builds long compound words, so translated text often grows by around 30% and narrow table columns or buttons may need more room.
