Turn formality into a checkout setting

Created on 17 March 2024, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

When translating website content from English to both Dutch and German, if your brand is sort of innovative (e.g. you're a start-up') you will choose to use informal "Je" in Dutch. However, in German it's definitely not as acceptable to use the informal "Du" in place of the formal "Sie".

This idea is supported in real life website.

Example:

Dutch using Je: https://salesforce.com/nl
German using Sie: https://www.salesforce.com/de/

There are also B2B sites that use "Du" but I think it would be great to leave the decision up to the translator. You may also want to translate more formal on your landing pages and less formal on blog pages, or leave it to automatic when translating user-generated content.
