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

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.

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

Smartphone: No
PC: No
Programs: Depends

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