Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak? (self.fediverse)

I often reply under Japanese posts, and I always assume users will use a translator as I do, but maybe in the context of a Japanese instance or conversation this may look rude?

Just use a translator and state it in your post. You can literally do this with a simple right-click in firefox. Enough with the anglo domination.
