Do non-English speakers learn to code in English
Why should they?
Code is programming language, not natural language. If they have already learned some natural English, then maybe it seems practical. Otherwise, no reason to try that.

Well, unless you specifically take steps to change how types and built in functions are called, you’re going to be writing “string” “for” and “if”

Doesn’t matter. Could be any symbols instead. The same as math symbols.

Well they’re words. Good luck typing the logic symbols on regular keyboards

And those words are written in what experts call, “English”.
