    Native Spanish and English speaker, Lemmy settings are in Spanish. I’m used to my settings being in Spanish because I grew up in South America with electronics naturally being set to Spanish.

    Also, when I’d go to Google something for my friends, it was more efficient to have them read it, rather than just translating.

      For example:

      I remember someone asking me about religion in Poland (they were Polish and didn’t know and also didn’t have their phone with them) so they asked me to look it up. It was more efficient, like I said, to just have them read this.
