extended vs umfangreich

extensive / corpulent

'umfangreich' and 'extended' can both express that something is larger, longer, or more comprehensive than normal. 'umfangreich' is a normal German word and works well with reports, information, tasks, or investigations. 'extended' is an English loanword and sounds more technical, modern, or like part of a product name. In everyday language, 'umfangreich' is usually more natural. 'extended' is used more when that is the official term, for example with a version, warranty, or feature.
