Its fiiiiiine. Just get an english ISO and burn it. The keys dont specify the language, just the version of windows(Pro Ultimate etc).

Does anyone have a fast link for downloading win 7 in Englsh. Many people on here get the German version if the English one is out of stock but I never have a good link to give them.
