English
As we all know, English is widely used and spoken all over the world.
Supporting English in PPResume is much easier than supporting other languages, there's very little extra setup to do in order to support English resumes with LaTeX.
Linguistics
Theoretically, English belongs to Germanic languages (opens in a new tab), which is a branch of the Indo-European language family (opens in a new tab) spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in Europe, North America, Oceania, and Southern Africa.
Character Set

Location
Different languages present locations in different format. In English, when presenting a location with address, city, and country, the general part (country, state, etc.) typically comes last, while the most specific part (town, address, etc.) comes first. In some other languages like Chinese, the order is totally reversed.
Here's the typical order in English:
- Address: This includes the street number, street name, apartment number, etc.
- City: The name of the city or town.
- State/Province: The state or province, if applicable.
- Country: The name of the country.
