Of course, if no subscriber to the TeX Live list understands that language, then the original poster is unlikely to receive the help that he or she seeks, but when a question is posed in a mainstream language such as French, then the likelihood that the questioner will receive help must surely be very high.  Norbert states that "this is an international mailing list", yet goes on to say "so please write in English" — I can see no logical connection whatsoever between the two halves of Norbert's sentence.

When I studied chemistry on the university, we the pofessors gave us
the percentage of languages used in journals on chemistry. Tme most
frequent were English, Russian and Japanese. Approximately 5% were in
German and 3% in French. And French is a difficult language to learn,
it is much easier to learn Norwegian and Hindi but, of course, my
knowledge od languages stem from my stay as a postdoc in Denmark and
many scientific meetings in Norway.
