GS305E Language option is a download. Other models (GS105Ev2) languages included.
Multi-language support (English, German (Deutsch), Japanese (日本語).) was added to the GS105Ev2 with the first v1.6 firmware release back in the year 2018.
Multi-language support (English, German (Deutsch), Japanese (日本語).) was added to the GS308E with the first v1.0.0.3 in June or July 2019 firmware release, following the initial factory defailt v1.0.0.1 from March 2019.
When talking from newer/current firmware, the multi languae support is available right away..

GS105Ev2 Power Saving Options available (detects cable length and adjusts power)
GS305E is not mentioned as adjusting power based on cable length.
The GS305E data sheet does clearly mention Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) compliant Yes. Note: There might be no controls to disable this feature on either model.

GS105E is a DHCP client. GS305 is not.
GS305 does not have DHCP because there is no IP stack as it's an unmanaged model. GS305E does have an IP stack, does support DHCP for address assignment (it's on the data sheet, too).
Early GS105Ev2 firmware release dates from 2013, first major update from November 2016.
Early GS308E firmware dates from March 2019. It's simply a new hardware model, probably initially intended for different sales channels.
