Do foreign people learn English just to understand programming languages? I never really gave it much thought until now, but surely not every foreign programmer is multilingual right? I've heard in the past that Japanese programmers suck shit because of the language barrier, but I don't know how truthful anon was being.

can you use the word comrade

Yes, my friend from NE huelandia writes all his code in english.

yes, english is basically a must.

linux is harder for us because everything is in english (there is translations but specific things are always in english)

slavs code in cyrillics

fuck your country and your language

If internet access is common in your society, not being at least somewhat fluent in English is basically a disability. I'm Austrian. German is hardly a rare language on the internet, but the difference in the quality of information you can get in German vs English on sites likes Google/Wikipedia/YT is still like night and day. I see Austrian boomers fail to research decent info all the time - just because they can't into English (much).

For programming, trying to avoid English gets schizophrenic pretty quickly. Common languages use English terms, so without a basic understanding of English, you won't get very far. Then there's naming variables/functions/classes/etc in your programs. I've programmed in both English and German many times. Now, it may be different if you can't think in English or if your native language is less complex than German, but my experience is that just sticking to English for everything leads to a smoother programming experience than constantly switching between English terms and German names for variables/functions/etc.

I ended up learning English without even really meaning to, because everything is in English. I don't imagine learning a bunch of keywords for a language actually requires knowledge of English, but not knowing English would probably be a significant handicap for online research or learning new things in this field, I can't imagine there are as many resources in other languages as there are in English.

all the best brainwashing stuff is in english and people almost demand to learn it

Tell that to the guys writing the Turrican Wikipedia articles

Lots of programming books have been translated into other langauges. Maybe take a look at those to see how much english they have.

>programmer

>who don't speak english

Dime a dozen here in Hueniggerland, and guess what? They're all shit.

>Japanese programmers suck shit because of the language barrier

That's bullshit. You just need to know some words in english for programming. Also, you don't even need to know every meaning behind every word. Do you know what conjecture or terminal means in your language? Even though you still manage how to understand these terms.

I've worked with some Japanese colleagues and they were pretty good at programming.

>>93031119 (OP)

Not so much to understand programming languages but rather to be able to google various issues

>>93031119 (OP)

yes unless you are

>russian

they code in cyrllic

>fromsoft

they rewrote C++ in kanji specifically so they didn't have to learn english

>FromSoft

>Rewrote C++ in a lang with more characters than 255.

That explains why their games are a buggy mess.



You only need 128 chars in English to do everything you need. Other langs lost. You should have patched your langs.
