I definitely prefer vegan to plant-based. Plant-based doesn't translate into Persian either. I like Dillon from Well Your World who doesn't use the term "wfpb whole food plant based" he calls it the "whole plant food only diet"
The language barrier is partly why I prefer vegan too. My second language is Spanish, I am planning on living in a Spanish-speaking country and the most commonly used translation for "plant based" that I am aware of is "de origen vegetal" which is more of a food label than a personal one. It's easier to just say "vegana" lol.
