About French and German

French (Français) is written in the Latin script and spoken by about 310 million, mainly in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada (Quebec), Luxembourg and much of West and Central Africa. French typography puts a non-breaking space before : ; ? and ! and uses « » guillemets for quotations, which matters in contracts and printed material.

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.
