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?
