Well, you're not using the listed languages, just a graphical representation of the numbers. But when you talk about them you have to use names in one specific language.
Over the phone I cannot say 8, I have to say eight or huit or acht depending on who I am talking to.
And the way I learned the multiplication tables is deeply tied to the French names of the numbers. Other people may have their brain setup differently.
