I'd say "no", or at least "not particularly". Obviously there are careers that require even less knowledge of English, for example in music (I knew someone who chose to study music specifically because they didn't know which country they might end up in), but many careers require more knowledge of English than programming, so if you don't like or are not good at (human) languages then programming is not a bad choice, I think.
