Curiously that wasn't always the case, if you bought a compiler and IDE in the 90s or 2000s from Microsoft or a few others, you'd get an environment that's fully translated to the local language. Granted, those translations frequently made almost no sense at all, but the words were all decidedly Not-English. You could also go out and buy translated books and references.
Even when you install e.g. Debian today and select Not-English as the system language, you might be surprised to see that GCC actually has i18n'd error messages, at least for some languages. Same for coreutils. I doubt anyone uses that intentionally, and they're probably not very up to date, but it does exist... kinda.
