Perhaps, but it requires immensely more work than the/a
simple/short tutorial, for which the success rate, one
imagines, is much higher.

Maybe more people read the tutorial as well? When they are
ready to move from tutorial to manual, maybe they know good
enough English already? (IMO the on-line help is the most
important piece of documentation.)

Also, one can argue that the "local language", as you call it,
for computers is actually English!

To provide an example, consider people who translates GNU
manuals. They need to know good English!

Well, obviously...
