I don't think we care that much about localisation in software. Or rather we're very used to not having it. So as a native I recommend not spending that much effort on it. A lot of the above will make you fit in better, but some are kind of colloquial and the standard 'international' ones work fine. Nobody will find it unusual if you use 'while', for example, or ask for your 'turn'. True enough though, 'shot', 'band-aid', and probably 'eggplant' will mark you as an outsider. Some of them are also class-based, which is a whole other thing that I'm happy to say Americans suffer much less from. Also, when in the US, I feel weird calling a band-aid a band-aid because it feels like corporate subservience. A bit like I feel a pang of rebellious disgust when using the word 'hoover' in British company.
