Or ... Is that approach/tone difference an item to be handled by
Localization/Translation experts?

Any multilingual people on the list who can tell us if MS exhorts
similarly for Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, German, Indian... writers?

Or is the approach/tone a lot different in those cases?

I'm making the distinction between what such cultures expect/prefer
in their instructional documentation versus what MS might be suggesting
the local writers should do... if there is any distinction. Is there?
