It is fun to close out a qso using the native language of the country where your contact resides. Additionally, we find it helpful to let contacts know that we prefer LoTW QSL's. Below are three HRD DM780 macros that we created to illustrate how incorporate various languages. To use these just copy/paste the macro text into a new DM780 macro that you create.
