There's an amazing amount of material that has been localized into quite
a number of languages. I believe Gnome and KDE are pretty much fully
localized to most languages you can think of these days. 

I tend to run a Norwegian (Nynorsk or Bokmål, whatever I fancy that day)
KDE desktop myself. An ordinary user would get along fine on a typical
desktop system in their local language, IME. On the other hand your
friendly sysadmin would likely be at a great disadvantage with little or
no English.
