C is a 30 year old language, with dozens of books translated to Hebrew, thousands of Israelis who know it and can teach it, and so on. So now you can indeed learn it well without knowing a word of English. But what about newer technologies? When Linux 2.6.35 came out last week, do you think it came with documentation in Hebrew? Of course this is just an example....
