There's nothing worse than dubbed films anyway. Subtitles !

Erm but you have these problems for the menus anyway. You are the
minority (using multiple languages on multiple installations). The
majority, even when they edit multi-language docs, keep to one l10n for
LyX itself. It's just crazy to have weird key bindings that make no
sense.
But what do I care as long as the primary language is English ?
