Language here is not translated as it is not necessary.
FYI, there are impliations that formal is for writing and casual is for spoken language.
In that case,
Formal =written = 書き言葉
Casual = spoken = 話し言葉
- Japanese
formal ( language ) 丁寧語（ていねい・ご）
casual ( language ) （くだけた・はなしかた）もっと くだけると タメ口
Even in written case, we use casual language, like letters and essays written freely.
Even in spoken case, we use formal language, like conversations with senior persons and bosses at work.
