:) This is not about "technical" English, this is about domain specific
English. How big is your knowledge about, say, biological terms or banking
terms in English? Would you say you're capable of modelling an application
from the domain of biology, well specified in a large German document, in
perfect English terms?

And: why would you want to do that?
