When I started computering, there where no localised systems. When they started translating, the German was often misleading, incomplete, or just didn't fit in the button or whatever. So I stuck with English. Somewhere along the line I switched to en_UK, though.

And yeah, in this day and age I have no clue how good the translations are, because I never checked them.

    Same here. My native language is Spanish, and the localized terms always felt weird to me.

    I also always use English keyboard layout, regardless of what is printed on the keys.

    The only thing I change is date format, because US date format hurts my brain.

    What about the 'รฑ'?

    I have a second keyboard layout configured, and I switch to it for the โ€˜รฑโ€™ and the tildes when needed.
