Hello FME Community! This week’s Question of the Week comes straight from our product team: If FME were available in your preferred language, which one would make the biggest difference for you or your team?

Please share your answer in the comments below.

New to the Question of the Week? 

Every week, we’ll post a simple but thought-provoking question that could be about your FME journey, the power of spatial data, FME innovation, or the future of FME.

Each weekly question you answer earns you an entry in our monthly draw for exclusive Safe swag ($50 value) and points toward badges! Answer our October Questions of the Week by October 31, 2025 at 5:00 pm PDT to be entered in this month’s draw.

Answer your first question and you’ll get the Socializer (Ice Breaker) badge. Answer five questions and you’ll get the Socializer (Talker) badge.

The biggest difference for us would of course be our native language, Dutch.

But personally I would prefer to keep using FME in English.

Same here.

I would not want your developers wasting valuable time translating FME to Dutch. I wouldn’t use it in Dutch, since it would take me waaay too much time getting used to new names of transformers and things.

It’s already taking me a lot of time getting used to the new UI, which doubled the necessary number of mouse-clicks (no idea who ever thought that was useful, but it’s not the first time I think that when confronted with new UI’s...). If trying to figure out what the Dutch name of a certain transformer is was added to that, I’d never get anything done.

I prefer FME over using coding languages, so FME in FME is my choice.

 

 

(I am native English so English is fine with me)
