    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.

      Most German problem ever lmao. I just noticed you have Pos1 for Home, which makes sense ig, I was just never expecting a numeral on a key that isn’t a number key
