Native Spanish speaker that builds software for English speaking markets: I don't think I would write a software or make screenshots where I would think first to put names like Juan or Pedro in them if the target audience is English speakers.

When you're writing English it just feels like the names flow better, that's all (like, avoiding stutter in a sentence, but with names). I don't think it would be fair to say we're just not honoring our roots



Why not?

Also you could use "Joe" and "Pedro" instead. To me it seems even more global.


We used Joe and Pedro on some of our screenshots. Discussion is all about that :)


Valid. I get your point.
