There should be a limit to how much you have to adopt a program
to other languages. Those parts of a program which are only
available to a few expert administrators might better be
kept in English.

Internet standards often use English-like words and phrases.
If these are used in computer-to-computer communication,
not in things shown to ordinary users, they should best
be kept in English. This is not really English, it is
an artificial language which happens to use English-
like words.
