English would seem - at least to Silvio & me ;) - to be a better default than local languages. I'd think this argument applies more strongly to development IDEs that use English-based programming languages and constructs already as opposed to end user programs.
On the other hand, I can well imagine people in other countries, such as Germany or France, where using one's one language instead of English is much more accepted, feel differently. I'm not really bothered either way (English default or not), personally don't care about translations, but if people do want to make the effort (i.e. it makes sense to them): fine by me.
