Here in the NL, english is fairly common, and nearly all students and
professional programmers will use English.  In general they often will even
have UK Windows and Office versions. (you can enable Dutch spellcheck in it)

But many older programmers will use dutch. Not all users will be hardcore IT
people, quite some are teachers and I know even realtors doing mortgage
calculations on it.  And pupils of the teachers.

If you are in hardcore IT circles, you won't see such users, but they
probably are there.

That being said, on the original subject, can't we simply change the default
for such languages? IOW that people with arabic locale get English as
default, but leave the Arabic option in for people that want to work on it,
now or in the future?

That fixes the annoyance for the current users, without closing the doors on
the alternative.
