Reading through this thread really makes me wish Esperanto or some other auxiliary language caught on

My GNU/Linux computer has been set to Basque language for three decades. It works good.

At this point it’s almost 2 decades of English uis only everywhere I can. Phone, computers, tv, etc.

Just makes life easier.

Sometimes I see or interact with someone else phone or computer and my brain just freezes in panic because I have no idea about the words and concepts that people see in my native language.

Pc in English phone in mother tongue for some reason. Probably because it didn’t bother me that much. I can’t be assed to debug my pc and translate all the buzzwords in my head and programming is better when the keyboard shortcuts work without having to set them up manually.

English. Except my phone because of how it handles keyboards

I prefer english UI everywhere, and then my danish keyboard layout ive used since forever

English, English is the standard medium of education in India, I don’t even know most academic concepts in my native language so no point in making it harder for myself, also read English faster and easier too simply because that’s the language I was educated and read in.

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

English, with custom key bindings for accents etc. Mostly because I hate AZERTY with a passion.

Smartphone: No
PC: No
Programs: Depends

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

Thai language

Neither

Troubleshooting is done with LANGUAGE=EN.

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.

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. Arabic is very neglected translation-wise and mixing LTR and RTL is mindnumbing
