Do you read theory in English or in your native language? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been primarily reading in English because that's the language that pretty much all theory is available in, but I've been having issues translating the ideas into my native language.

Translations into my native language are hard to come by. So i usually read either in German or English. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The English translation tends to be more compact and faster to understand since the grammatical construction is simplified, but the German has more nuance. I would like to be able to read it in Russian as well one day.
