I've met a situation when a product lost tender only because it wasn't localized. And I don't need to remind which products are always localized and in good shape: mssql, oracle, etc.

Interesting, I think we have the opposite. While not mandatory in Sweden I

gov/council etc tenders (and unless there is a constraint on which messages it
applies to, it applies to all of the software but not the manual).
