The topic is cloud providers. Do you think it would be critical for a EU-based cloud provider to translate their admin GUI to Elfdalian, Basque and Romansh in order to succeed? Or perhaps there are some deeper underlying causes for European failure in modern computer tech that you can think of?

No one is going to start a new cloud provider there are already European cloud providers existing.

Hetzner, OVH, Aruba, Scaleway. Their earnings hang around 400 million euros.

That’s rounding error compared to earnings of AWS, GCP, Azure.

European ones have English interfaces, global CDN capabilities etc. They still are rounding error compared to US ones.
