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.

What should have been my native language is instead at about a professional-conversational level where doing translations is still out of reach. Maybe in a year. I'm very embarrassed about it. I still switch to English when I want full comprehension & not to be slowed down.
