Not all those from the British Isles. A first language an English as school language is not that uncommon for segments of the population, and in Wales schooling may also be such that English is learned as a first foreign language. That aside, please remember that Europe as a whole is a small place on the bigger world stage. The total volume of potential developers in the huge and rapidly modernising nations like India and China is vast, and there are large highly skilled technical nations that don't teach English to everyone technical by default. Key documents in other languages is a big help, especially those about values, culture and standards because they are things that are not easy to understand if your use of English is technically oriented.
