Poll: Lemmys outside the Anglosphere, do you have your computer set to English or your mother tongue?

I know my work computer and phone are in English. Maybe the car too but I’m not sure. I have no idea what language I have on my own computers at home (English or French, but I don’t know which)

Outside the so-called Anglo sphere is no longer english?

Although I can be considered a very tech-savvy person, I actually have my laptop set to use my local language and not English. This is because my local language has an issue of absorbing too many English words, I feel better when I have to remember and use my language’s words and not the English ones. Not really sure if you will understand what I mean here though.

English. It’s my second language & I’ve been using it in all my electronics since the 90s. Easier to understand programming too.

I don’t remember. My phone is in English because games used/use to take your phone language as their default, and I wanted the original voices and stuff. Some apps do it as well. PC… I’m not sure.

Since I let the browser to English so is less unique in the fingerprint I also let my computer in English.

A particular thing in Linux that I notice when I started using it. In the Windows even in other languages the Downloads/Music/Documents/Image/Video folders their paths are in English while Linux is the name of the folder so in the other languages this shit can be annoying to deal.

English, because:

a) I’m used to it. b) Looking up error messages in my mother language is a giant pain.

I’m Dutch and always set everything to English. Except if Dutch or German is the original language of the content.

When I started using computers, my mother tongue had spotty support. Most of the content that I need(ed) to digest is also in English.

Only on past few years it made sense not to use English but now I’m habituated

Computers and phone: Spanish

Most of the software that allows me to change the language setting: Spanish too

Exceptions: MTL’d stuff or when i feel like deliberately using another lang Funny case: Y’know Turkey is both the name of the country and the bird associated with thanksgiving / christmas? Yeah, gues what did I see once in a country selector (the country is Turquía, the animal is pavo)

Generally to my mother tongue, unless it’s more technical (wider support) or clearly machine translated

english on most cases, but my local language on m$win because it helps troubleshooting for others (gotta know what a menu is called) and some proprietary shitware only outputs garbled text when system is in english

I use Dutch, because I’m one of the three Dutchmen that actually likes his language and I don’t want to see English all day.

Smartphone: No
PC: No
Programs: Depends

Edit:
Forgot, my debian servers are configured for english with german keyboard layout qwertz.
