"4.4.2" Pattern: Use a Simple Tense and Voice, the sub section
https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/WD-coga-usable-20200717/#description-13

has the following text:

Use the tense and the voice that is easiest to understand. In English, this is usually the present tense and active voice. Speak directly to the user, and use the simplest form of verbs.

Please add guidance about working with languages other than English. A text proposal is below.

Use the tense and the voice that is easiest to understand. In English, this is usually the present tense and active voice. Speak directly to the user, and use the simplest form of verbs. Be sure to work with local language expertise to understand the linguistic aspects of what is easy to understand.
