Non-English speaking programmers, do you write your comments in your native language? (lemmy.world)

I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

I want to know if I'm the only idiot that it happens to or if on the contrary it's something generalized.

(Mi idioma es el Español, por cierto)

Bold of you to assume I write comments.

(Yes, they're usually in my native tongue. I think it's better for you to express your comment clearly then stumble through a different language to make it accessible... chances are you'll be reading that comment next and non-spanish speakers can use Google translate or whatever and ask you if something is unclear).

The place I used to work at had a bunch of people speaking various South and North Indian languages, Vietnamese, Swedish, French, English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I’d have spent my whole days on Google Translate lol
