The internet has a bunch of technical standards which we loosely agree to. There's no law stating "thou shalt speak English if connected via BGP4 to thy internet".
And are _any_ of those technical standards written in a language other than English? Think about the acronyms we use in network-speak every day - how many of them stand for phrases in a language other than English?
CCITT, and of course the favorite ISO, International Organization for Standardization.
