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’m an American who is decent at German, living back in the US again. I set whatever I can to German to maintain my exposure to it, sometimes to my own confusion and detriment

I’ve got my stuff in Japanese. Just trying my best to keep it sharp and not let English kick it out of my brain (which it is aggressively trying to do.)

I keep my OSs set in English, although it’s not my native language. Simply, because most articles and forum posts for troubleshooting are in english and it makes translating sub-menu titles obsolete

I’m a native English speaker but my phone and fitbit are in French. I minored in French in college and I’m trying to shake off the rust.

english, it is better handled by computers at all levels

All English. It’s just more practical. Every software is first and foremost written in English, for English UIs, for English-speaking users, and then internationalized. I’ll just stick to the primary design for simplicity’s sake and to reduce potential issues.

Also, English tends to be more terse and less verbose than almost all other languages when abbreviated.
