If any Muslim writes a book on a secular, non-Islamic subject (particularly in a non-Arabic language), should he or she start the book with the same way as books on Islamic subject are started, with "In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Gracious" and "All praises are due to Allah," and then sending blessings and peace of Allah on the Prophet

.??

If one writes it, is it better to write it in English or keep it in Arabic?

Has anyone seen a book written by a Muslim on any secular, technical subject with basmala and al-hamd in the beginning of the book?
