They are annoying even if you write in English. One such example is “library”.
In Spanish, there are two words: “biblioteca” and “librería”.
Library = biblioteca
Book shop = librería
When speaking about programming libraries, everyone says “librería” because it’s just easier to translate that way. But it just feels wrong every time.
A funny one is Pizza Hut. “Hut” means “hat” in German. And since the Pizza Hut logo kind of looks like a hat many Germans believe that they gave it a German name in Germany. So they pronounce it in a German way and if they were to talk to an English speaker they might say Pizza Hat in an effort to translate.

Considering that their roofs tend to look like this, that’s a very reasonable understanding. Pizza Huts look like they’re wearing a hat!
