User unknown
Am I supposed to know that language? :-)
If you want to communicate with a company based in Spain then yes
No thanks! I don't need to learn all the sh*tty languages of all the 200 or so countries of the world.
Silly practice of making such essential data something different than english.
A simple counter-argument to that is that not everybody speaks English. Why would a Spanish speaker want to deal with an error message in English?
In a global communications infrasture we have to agree on a common technical language, and that is de-facto English. Unfortunately some prefer their national idiosyncrasies. An admin who does not know technical english is for me not worth a cent.
