For non not native English speakers, does the term "Digital Nomad" have a translation in your language and is it used? (alien.top)

Arabic: I have never heard anyone mentioning that term in Arabic, I am not sure it exists, I sometime say I am بدوي الكتروني but I am never serious when I say and I know it will confuse, it sounds really funny though and I enjoy saying it in Arabic, maybe because it is so uncommon concept, and I don't think it is not a perfect translation but I like it.

Romanian: Nomad Digital. But is rarely used. We simply say that "he/she works online"

same for vietnamese. "digital nomad" as an english word doesn't mean much to people, we just say "work online"

For real, is this something a person really would walk around and reflect about? Not only that, THEN posting a thread on reddit about it to discuss this with others?

A whole new level of cringy DN nerdism 🤦

Portuguese: “nômade digital”. Used frequently in the right scene (Instagram influencers and such), not at all among the average Joes.
