It's possible that the language could be a factor.  The current
default (5 seconds) seems to be consistent with what other GUI
environments do.  Could you try to customize tooltip-hide-delay and
see what value seems to be good for you?

Perhaps we could have different defaults depending on whether the
language environment is English or not?

Please be sure to post any suggestions like those to gnu.emacs.bug.  A
lot of effort went into making the help text as clear as possible, but
I have no doubt that more work is in order; your (and everyone else's)
feedback is important.  Thanks.
