The part about English is pretty weak. I say this as a non-English native speaker: There is no way you can learn programming and actually be a part of the wider ecosystem without learning English. You can argue that it's a pity (I don't agree), you can argue it's cultural imperialism (I guess I can agree, but it's in a good way), you can argue it's unjust (I agree 100%!). But to lay the blame on the maintainers for every library in the world seems rather pointless. If you want to participate you have to learn the standard and build on the existing body of work. This means English.
