    I approve 'cause it's stupid these people can't translate English terms into their own languages. Like, Germans using "upvote" on Reddit in otherwise German comments is just embarrassing.

      It is pretty prevalent, especially the more esoteric the technical topic. Like I've heard Chinese speakers just switch to full English for a brief exchange to talk about eg process hollowing, hypervisors, kernel patching protection - I assume there are localized terms but they were probably created later, by some language body/authority, and haven't caught on yet.
