Good for them. I think this trend will discourage monoculturalism.
Personally I don't care too much what language I'm using (I only have English and my native tongue to use). But frankly I'm fed up with the amerocentric (not a word) content that I go through. I'm fed up with reading about things that interest me on an international platform and having to endure a majority of America-colored views and experiences of everything. I'm tired of reading about slightly-technical/non-technical opinion pieces having to do with programming, and the writing clearly being about some American issue. I'm tired of all my uni-level books being American "International Edition" textbooks with examples ridden with calculating the mean and standard deviation of some GPA's (stats), flights between Phoenix, NYC, Miami, LA etc (graph theory) [insert common knowledge to anyone who has lived in the US].
This wouldn't be different if all of these things had been simply translated to my native tongue.
All of this might seem petty, but I'm tired of being a foreigner on the Web that I frequent. And a foreigner in the same damn country each time, at that
