Isn't that a *big* ignorant? Just imagine, you want to spend 50 bucks for a
book in e.g. chinese or russian, can't speak the language and say that's
cheap? You even would by a even more expensive dictionary and a grammar
book to learn the language from an instant?

Well, if you would do so, that's your problem, but it won't help our
english speaking friends.

English is established as the international language for scientific and
computer science books, that's because english is a language that is
spoken world wide. And that's why computer books are usually written in
english.

I would doubt that. You judge again without evidence.

That's right, maybe because the computer science language *is* indeed
english.
