English, every tech device is in English. Mostly because out of habit. I grew up using tech before proper translations into my native language started to appear and now it's just really odd to see tech in my native language.
In addition, troubleshooting is easier. Most troubleshooting guides are in English and translating it into my native language can sometimes have odd translations. So it's easier to just skip that extra layer.
Yeah all of the software terms like 'wizard' 'manager' or 'shortcut' have super weird sounding translations in my language
same. i cant even touch type on our insane national layout.
