What changes with this language
German lengthens a French text by 20 to 30% and forms very long compound words: a tight layout almost always overflows. Legal and technical vocabulary there is of a precision that tolerates no approximation.
French text translated into German expands by around 25%. In a brochure or presentation with tight blocks, plan for this overflow: in a PDF, Manuce reduces the font size to fit the text in place; in all cases, a human eye must review before printing.
