Am i being picky or something? The reason i ask this question is that i have 
heard so many good things about Fantastical but i don’t like the fact that i 
have to type in english to make the calendar app work, worse yet, i wrote to 
the support and they said that they thought it would be a difficult and time 
consuming task to localize Fantastical into other languages so the question i 
want to ask here is are there any non-english speakers who actually prefer 
Fantastical over their built-in calendar and for what reason?
I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don’t use Siri, 
which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not 
Swedish. In Apples case i don’t like that they do strictly anglocentric 
features but, and this is a rettorical question so no need to answer:-) but 
should one be as strict when it comes to things like Fantastical? What if Siri 
becomes available in Swedish but Fantastical doesn’t?
