A really stupid thing I've noticed about YouTube

When they send a notification email to let me know that someone has commented on my video, or someone has subscribed to my videos, they send the email in the commenter's/subscriber's set language, rather than mine. I receive notifications in Spanish, Italian, Japanese, and other languages I can't recognise .....

I'm talking about canned templates btw, not the actual content which a user may have entered. (Often the template is another lang but the commenter has actually written in English. )

I can figure out what they mean since I'm used to receiving the same notifications in English, but for someone who had just started using YouTube and receives their first comment from someone who has their language set to NON English it could be incredibly confusing...
