Given that the authors in question are French, they are unlikely to be sympathetic to arguments predicated on the idea that the only language that matters is English. In fact it’s hard to think of a nationality less sympathetic to that idea.
Except nobody was arguing that. However, back in the world of reality, English is the most used language in programming and by such a large margin that it's laughable. It is a valid and practical problem that you are finding it difficult to constructively collaborate with 99% of the programming world thanks to the name - something that the French authors apparently completely recognise, hence why they're trying to come up with a good rebrand.
