I don’t know, if you want to find any form of official documentation for your dependencies/frameworks, you will have to know English either way. It is just the de facto language of IT, and I think it is fair to have every (even internal-only by a foreign language speaking group) codebase entirely in English.

And I say it as someone whose native tongue is not English.
