i know of, for example, russian-americans who have their google in russian
my lemmy is in spanish and my search engine, portuguese
I’m so used to seeing English everywhere that I actually have trouble navigating things like settings in my native Serbian.
As someone whose second language is French and has everything in French, set your computer to English. it’s so much easier to Google error messages when they’re in English.
Spanish is my first language, but English has pretty much taken over so PC is all in English, phone is all in English.
Regardless what i do, the results are shit. If i set language to English, it tries to present me with English tranlations of German YouTubers, if i set it to German, it tries to translate English YouTubers to German. Both kinds of tranlations suck.
That might be more of a VPN issue, no?
Nah, its an issue of Youtube pushing/forcing their bs “AI-“Features””
I have everything in English, even though it is not my native language. It was what the versions of DOS were as a kid, and I got so used to it that using the Danish version seems odd to me.
Some devices are in Polish, some in English.
Native Spanish
Everything that has a relatively decent Spanish translation will use it, else go to English (and hope that in case of English also being a translation of the original, it’s slightly more bearable)
I’m not bilingual yet but I have my computer and phone set in Esperanto.
everything in english
i’m better at english than my native language lul
I used to have everything set to English (my second language), but nowadays I use Spanish when available (third language). I use my native language only for a handful of local apps and websites if Spanish is unavailable.
same
Native Spanish and English speaker, Lemmy settings are in Spanish. I’m used to my settings being in Spanish because I grew up in South America with electronics naturally being set to Spanish.
Also, when I’d go to Google something for my friends, it was more efficient to have them read it, rather than just translating.
For example:
I remember someone asking me about religion in Poland (they were Polish and didn’t know and also didn’t have their phone with them) so they asked me to look it up. It was more efficient, like I said, to just have them read this.
i thank you for this as a hispanic dude with a polish mom
System language is usually native (due to keyboard layout)
But most programs are launched in the english UI so I can troubleshoot it easier by searching the exact issue.It is such a bitch to install debian with a qwertz layoit but english localizatiom…
Edit: I tried qwerty but it is usually annoying for the odd letter I need.
It started with DOS and I don’t even know if there was a possibility to have it localized.
Persian is my mother tongue but the most disappointing day in my life is when I realized I dreamed in English because it has been my primary language most of my life. I honestly don’t even know if I can set lemmy to Persian, I’ve never checked.
edit: well, how about that you can.
I am Hungarian, but everything I use is in English. As a software developer it’s basically the language of my work and I started consuming media in English at a young age.
