Isnt that english?
If you mean “is Esperanto English”, the answer is no, they’re pretty different, Esperanto combines elements of latin and slavic languages. If you mean “Isn’t English already an auxiliary language”, the answer is also no. English is a lingua franca, not an auxiliary language.
Fascinating, I didn’t know about auxiliary languages
My GNU/Linux computer has been set to Basque language for three decades. It works good.
Thai language
Pc in English phone in mother tongue for some reason. Probably because it didn’t bother me that much. I can’t be assed to debug my pc and translate all the buzzwords in my head and programming is better when the keyboard shortcuts work without having to set them up manually.
English. It’s my second language & I’ve been using it in all my electronics since the 90s. Easier to understand programming too.
Since I let the browser to English so is less unique in the fingerprint I also let my computer in English.
A particular thing in Linux that I notice when I started using it. In the Windows even in other languages the Downloads/Music/Documents/Image/Video folders their paths are in English while Linux is the name of the folder so in the other languages this shit can be annoying to deal.
At this point it’s almost 2 decades of English uis only everywhere I can. Phone, computers, tv, etc.
Just makes life easier.
Sometimes I see or interact with someone else phone or computer and my brain just freezes in panic because I have no idea about the words and concepts that people see in my native language.

Troubleshooting is done with
LANGUAGE=EN.English, because:
a) I’m used to it.
b) Looking up error messages in my mother language is a giant pain.
