Yes. This is a problem we have in France and Germany where the law requires you to have everything relevant in the native language. While I love my language, I find this particularly dumb because we are just making it difficult for us to get up to speed. I know some engineers who do not speak English (or their English is poor) and they always yell when there is a mail or documentation in English. They are also whimpering of never being promoted. I think they expect our customers to work French to accommodate them. Software engineering is in English, this is a fact of life and there is no other choice to speak of if you want to progress.
