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.

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
