I like English for its simplicity. And it is clear
that we need a universal language. And I think
English is a good choice. But free software is
about freedom. I don't like people who try to
impose their thoughts or their language. If
someone doesn't want to invest time and effort to
acquire some language, he is in his right. And I
think it would be good that someone who doesn't
speak English could use Emacs efficiently for
non-programming tasks. I'm not talking about
translating commands which would be (maybe)
nonsense. But the manual is the starting point.
I think it should be available in other languages.
Not just Spanish.

I agree.
But bear in mind that Emacs is not just for
programmers. All the modes for human languages can
be used by non-programmers. And many users of
Emacs are not programmers.
