Indeed, and some of those multilingual people are developers bridging between the world of international software where English is the lingua franca and their own local communities where company-internal code doesn't need to have all documentation in English, even if that's the case for the open-source software it relies on.
The bridge also works in the opposite direction, such that if you want to contribute your internal code to the international community, it's appropriate to provide them with English documentation. The TARS developers evidently realize that, their translation is just not fully done yet.
