Um, okay, this FF5 is worded problematically. I don't live in an anglophone country and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people who follow this don't either.
You're defaulting English, which while it's true a large number of our favourite things to be fannish about are in English and originate from English speaking countries, I don't appreciate being marginalised in this manner.
I realise this may seem like an over reaction to you, but seriously, it's a bit problematic to phrase it in that manner.
"Non-English Language" would have been fine, though the whole framing of this FF5 is questionable.
