Stickler seems to work in English.
- groby_b 5y ago"Paragraphenreiter" in German. It turns out many of these "untranslatable" words are shared across entire language families. (I'm still not sure if a stickler is exactly the same term, because it doesn't necessarily involve rules - but "rules lawyer" works just fine for that context. And for the "but it's two words" crowd, so is Paragrafryttare. Just without a space.)
