Localizing software destabilizes it; localized versions always contain
more bugs (often very hard-to-find bugs) than original versions.
If I speak the language of the original authors of a software product, I
always use the product in its original language. Localized versions are
a constant source of trouble. Even Windows, which makes special
provisions for localization, is still far more bug-prone in non-English
versions, and I always try to install U.S.-English versions if I can get
them.
