I keep my OSs set in English, although it's not my native language. Simply, because most articles and forum posts for troubleshooting are in english and it makes translating sub-menu titles obsolete

This is my reasoning, too. I keep my keyboard QWERTZ + German Umlaute, but almost everything else is set to English. Pretty much the only exception are videogames and movies that have a superior German version to them (like Kingdom Come Deliverance)
