This is very correct. However, I wonder how would anyone learn Erlang
(for example) without knowing English, when the standard libraries are
using English names and the documentation is in English too? I know
there are books in French, but have the docs been translated too? That
would be cool, but it's not certain that this would happen for all
non-English languages. So everybody needs _some_ amount of proficiency
in English, right?

best regards,
Vlad
