Writing in German
All nouns are capitalised, and long compound words (Datenschutzerklärung) can be hard to fit into narrow table cells, buttons and slide boxes.
German distinguishes informal du from formal Sie. Business and official documents use Sie, although some brands address customers with du.
Swiss Standard German writes ss instead of ß. Austrian German has some vocabulary of its own.
