Can one get into the heart of Zen Buddhism without Chinese? Do we know any Zen teachers/masters that do not have Chinese origins and do not speak Chinese? For example English?

P.S. I know that such type of logical questions are taken humorously in the zen culture, as it does not really matter but still my "small mind" is curious. Does one need to know Chinese in order to get to the heart of the teachings?
A famous example is Thích Nhất Hạnh, who is Vietnamese.
He has given talks in several languages, including English and French.

There's also Korean Zen, and of course Japanese.

There are (and/or have been) many English-speaking Zen teachers in, for example, America.
