It is neither precise nor consistent if someone misunderstands it.

It is fairly self evident that emacs applications that could talk
multiple languages and manuals in multiple languages would be a benefit
for the end user IF it could be done.

e.g C is "in English" but there are plenty of German C Manuals and
tutorials to explain what the "English" keywords mean.
