Funny that people are shocked at people switching scripts when this is so common, often done in non-Latin countries even in the same sentence.

I personally use SwiftKey with Hebrew, French and English but I swap to Google Keyboard for Japanese because I found it works better. Only issue with combining languages is that some programs can't manage sentences in both RTL and LTR well.

I used to use swipe right on the space bar for French and left for Hebrew (English being central as I'm sure the aforementioned Americans would appreciate). I ended up just switching to a combined English/French one since it works and switching between QWERTY and AZERTY caused frequent mistakes.

I mean programming languages go through a compiler or at least parsed into abstract syntax trees before actually running so you could very easily implement dialects/regional spelling if you really wanted to return aye instead of true.

Map tax for the derail (I made this as the first thing that came to my head, apologies as the pop data is from 2020 and the survey is from 2023):

Oh crap. I was posting on both on two different derails and indeed got confused. I will get on designing a flag ASAP.
