people who know more than one language, are your settings in english or another language?
-
All my devices (PC, Smartwatch, Steam Deck etc) are in (British) English, with the exception of my phone, which is in my native German.
-
Most things are in German, but if something isn't translated to German yet or I can't be bothered to change it from English, it doesn't bother me much to use it in English either.
-
I usually keep all my settings in English. It makes it easier when you're looking for help online when you need something
-
English, which is not my native language
-
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.
-
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.
-
Exactly the same reasons for me. And I even got used to the US and UK keyboard layouts, especially selecting the "dead keys" layout on the OS so I can easily type the specific letters/accents needed for many European languages (the few ones I speak anyway
).Another advantage of the US layout is that it's the default on any live / installation media / remote server ecc.

Native Spanish, who learnt English at an early age and Italian later on. Everything's in English, though from time to time I'll switch to Italian when I feel my grasp on the language weaken.
-
More verbose happens to every translation. Because the original text could choose to communicate things in a way that works with that language but every translation has to include all the information in the original version.

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.
-
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
-
Some devices are in Polish, some in English.
-
That might be more of a VPN issue, no?
-
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.

This is exactly what I wanted to comment.

My phone and YouTube are in French, everything else is in English. No idea why YouTube (and only YouTube, not google, gmail, etc) is French, one day it was and I've never put in the effort to change it.
Native English speaker also.
-
Interesting! My google apps all changed to French, I wonder why yours didn't.
-
english, it is better handled by computers at all levels
-
English and my native language. It depends on my mood. Usually, if you need to find some resolution to the technical issues, it’s easier to use English.

I'm not bilingual yet but I have my computer and phone set in Esperanto.
