          For a computer interface there is, IMO by IByte 2003-11-06 06:42:53
I don't want to have to think whether I want to start e.g. 'Explorer' or 'Verkenner' (and, as I wrote before, I have a tool that actually starts these things by name), and it's easier to make all machines speak English instead of Dutch, especially if they're not all yours (CS department, for example), not to mention that of some software there isn't even a Dutch version.

Furthermore, the terminology for administrative purposes can get quite awkward. I get 'Event Log' quicker than I do 'Logboek van gebeurtenissen', and it's more compact too. And I can most likely find a lot more examples.
