There is no guarantee that something tagged "de" is really written in German,
either (indeed, Google routinely ignores the tag "en", because it is plonked
on all sorts of pages).  It's about authorial intent, as I posted before.

The Penguin shall hunt and devour all that is crufty, gnarly and
bogacious; all code which wriggles like spaghetti, or is infested with
blighting creatures, or is bound by grave and perilous Licences shall it
capture.  And in capturing shall it replicate, and in replicating shall
it document, and in documentation shall it bring freedom, serenity and
most cool froodiness to the earth and all who code therein.  --Gospel of Tux
