That very phrase shows some ignorance of language use in much of the
world

"his language"

which one. Lots of people here have two and they'll switch language by
task. In addition they have 3rd party docs in broken English stuff
(American for example). It's not untypical therefore for people to have a
desktop behaviour which has things like computing in English, cultural
material in their local language and religious material in Arabic.

You really want a language list or to search the base language and do a
search engine style "search for matches in other languages" or "there are
similar entries in"
