Do you read theory in English or in your native language? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been primarily reading in English because that's the language that pretty much all theory is available in, but I've been having issues translating the ideas into my native language.

Most are available in English. Also the theories in my native language are usually translated from English sources instead of the source language (German, Russian etc.). That's why there's a regular chance of misinterpretation via the game of telephone.

Actually never thought of that before that it might be even worse to read a double translated text.
