For me it really depends on the content I’m looking for, if it is technical content I still prefer to read it in English.
#My mother tongue is Arabic and because of the lack of an exact translation to some new technical jargon words I don’t always get it.. so I prefer to read it in English.
As for non-technical subjects I appreciate finding an Arabic alternative, actually I encourage having content in my local language because if we don’t start now to have things “written” more than it is “translated” in Arabic we won’t have a real good content in this language.
