I think the use of English is not the most serious problem. The explanations themselves, in any language, are unavoidably difficult, since validation is formal and algorithmics. Besides, in most languages the terminology of validation-related issues is much less stabilized than in English. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
