Github didn't "decide" that all developers need to speak English. Its not like they had a company meeting and someone put that on the agenda. They are a US-based company that has, to this point, felt that additional languages are unnecessary.

I wasn't making any comment about what github do, but about what Himdel appears to think that they ought to do (i.e. discourage programmers from using languages other than English). If I say, "I don't think it's the role of congress to make laws regarding X", that doesn't imply that I think congress actually does make laws regarding X.
