I have it installed. I zipped my SHCE install complete with Hawks utilities and Kim Ronhofs Tools installed on it years ago, and as I move from computer to computer I just unZip the zip to install it. Nowadays it runs on DOSBox just fine on Win 7 (64) if anyone is curious. Of course I still have the original CD however it isn't necessary for me to use it to install the game because of my zip method. There are instructions on how to install it on modern OS here on Subsim and offsite places like subsowespac.org.
I wouldn't think that changing the language the voices speak to English would matter, however how are you going to read the messages that SH1 generates if you can't read German, French, etc? The Menus wouldn't be in English either.
My recommendation is to fork out the money to purchase an English version. Yes, it isn't cheap however Silent Hunter Commanders Edition is still worth the $$. IMO it's a better game than SH4 although the graphics are dated.
Happy Hunting!
