When hiding caches in a country that speaks non-english language, do you write the cache description in English or the native language or both?

As the title states. I am planning on hiding my first hide in a country that speaks spanish. For the life of me, I just can't be bothered translating my hide description into spanish. And, for that matter, many finders of caches in this country actually visit from other countries who DON'T speak spanish, like germany, france, etc. And the caches that have descriptions in both languages here just bother me, and I prefer just have it all nice and neat in one language, then google translate it if you need to. I mean, come on, people leave logs in non-english languages all the time.

Anyways, what is most appropriate to do? Do I go through the effort to translate it myself and make my description twice as long?

Also, I will note, in my description, I will be using bold and different sized letters and colors....what have you guys done? Advice please. Am I being a whiney native english speaker?
