Why not?  The Germans could just as easily complain about all the English!

There are more European chess programmers than US+Canada+England+Australia+New
Zealand for sure.

I think the same is probably true for end-users of chess programs.

If you don't know the language at all, you can still get the gist of it with a
free online translator.

When people post in something other than English, it's probably because they are
far more comfortable with it.  If I had to post in French or Turkish, it would
be pretty painful.

Besides, usually someone comes along and translates it in short order anyway.
