I did not understand Alex’s suggestion as changing the status quo. The default language is currently US English. UI-facing components are already localized. That would all stay the same.
The only suggestion would be to make a (reasonable) effort to use neutral words when possible and possibly offer localized docs, dev tools, and website. This seems like a reasonable compromise. No one would be obligated to have anything to do with the localization effort. Personally, I don’t really see it happening, but if people step forward to work on translation I have no problem with that.
