Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language?

Most popular programming languages have English-language keywords and that can’t be changed, so we certainly have to learn those.

How we learn to name symbols (variable/function names), that obviously depends on the programming course. But most real-world code has most symbols written in English with the possible exception of business-specific terminology that the business doesn’t use in English. The same is true of comments.
