in the selection for "German Language", I believe not. If one goes into a malt shop and orders a chocolate sunday and nothing else (ie: no recommends) , one still expects to receive the sunday in a container, not loose on the counter top. Opting for "German Language" in the menu should provide "German Language" and "no-recommends" should preclude "English Language" or any other "Language".
English is an implicit non optional requirement, the way internationalization is done in Linux. Basically, software has English hard coded. If you indicate another language, each string is replaced by its translated string at runtime: the software looks up the English string in a table, and finds the corresponding translation in another column. If the exact translation is not found, it prints the hardcoded English string. Some big applications or projects can do it differently, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
