I really love this feature too ! I use English/ my native language (French) and a language I learn (Japanese).
It helped me a lot with (finally !) remembering English names, that are everywhere in comments and descriptions. But is not really helpful with Japanese, I found out that a lot of European species (where I observe and ID) don’t have a Japanese name, or only a rough transcription of the English name. It makes sense though.

I stopped using it because I found it misleading for my purpose. I set a second lexicon to Spanish (Dominican Republic) because I wanted to learn the local names there. The problem was that if there was no name designated as Dominican Republic, it showed me the default Spanish name; this meant that I was seeing “Dominican” names for taxa that do not occur there. Not helpful for what I was trying to do.

Yes, started using this recently and like it a lot. I use English (Canada) and English (UK) as I spend time in both places, and Irish as it is a language that I am trying to learn.

Wow, very few Pinyin names have been added. I now have Pinyin set (because Chinese characters are not useful for someone trying to learn spoken Chinese), and yet even when I filter my observations for Taiwan or Hong Kong, I see no Pinyin names for any of them.
