Sure, but that wasn't the point of the article. It was saying that people who have had a similar problem will post in tech forums, and they will xquote the error message in whatever language their system is in. English language tech forums will always out-number other european languages, both because of a larger user-base, and because europeans often themselves run english software themselves. However good documentation in foreign speaking languages improves, this won't change. He's recommending to someone who can manage to use English language software to go ahead; it may be uphill to start but it will be worthwhile to do it. I am English and live in a Spanish speaking country, and recently purchased a new laptop which had vista pre-installed in Spanish. My Spanish is good enough to not have problems using the software, but I know exactly what the article author is talking about, I've had this problem many times. Thankfully because i have a history with using English language windows so I can often guess the exact wording for the English translation; but others would not.
