The worst offender to me is Google Maps. I'm a native Spanish speaker but set my phone to English because I hate app translations. The problem is when I want to read reviews it automatically translates them from Spanish (my native language) to English. It doesn't make any sense!

At least it's still Latin. In places like Korea, the roads are often only in transliterated Latin alphabet, so if you read the local language (and know places in that language) you'd need to transliterate it back to know what it's saying.

This despite Google already knowing what languages I can read…
