I have given my phone number (mobile and fixed) to a very small number of clients (anyway, it’s on my invoices), but they very rarely contact me by phone, everything is always by email. So, there’s no need at all to change the language…

I live my life in Danish, which has three extra vowels in the alphabet. Then I can text in the languages I use without odd vowel combinations. Messages and apps come in the language they were written in, mostly Danish, and I have set it not to translate anything.
My relatives play with languages, so being able to use the full Danish alphabet is quite important.

I like to use English on my phone because I can improve my English language skills. There are also many new features, services and products in English on my phone, so it is not possible to change it to any other language such as Spanish.

Which is why I always set the interface language to English in both Android and Windows.

I ordered food delivery yesterday, and the delivery app automatically transliterated the address, which I entered in Russian, to English. This could potentially make it problematic for the courier to read the address, but she found my place quickly ▲ Collapse

I was dating an Al Bhed girl. To impress her, I set my phone and had our chats in her native language. It was a fun relationship. Sadly it wasn't working out for both of us, so we broke up. She ended up marrying a tractor.
