That's how it goes, at least around Europe. People know English as a technical jargon (similar to legal French and Latin in English) and can juggle enough to get around documentation, but I've been in companies where I was the only fluent English speaker (and we're talking startup stuff). That gave ma a bunch of cool opportunities though, being pulled in every other meeting as the designated translator.
