Why would developers might want to speak/understand English?
1) For communication with fellow developers regarding assistance and collaboration
2) Write better code
Good programming style, which includes good comments(in whatever language that code will be maintained), and code that is easy to read and modify is just that - good code. Someone writing in C# in Russia or Korea, if they write good code, anyone in Brazil or US would be able to read their program and understand what its doing.
I've seen code that is unreadable and unmodifiable written by English speaking contractors right here, on the American soil. And their ability to grok English didn't impact the goodness of their code.
And whether you speak and understand English you can write either good or crappy code.
