If I remember correctly there was a complete Cyrillic translation of COBOL back in the Soviet days. Other than that, I think that although it would help, it's not absolutely necessary to learn English. Learning the Roman script is, though.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoIndeed..but there are many languages don’t use the Roman script..are they at a disadvantage?
- seren 7y agoPeople in country having non Roman script usually learn it in elementary school because this is so globally widespread. For example, Chinese people are using pinyin[0], and Japanese people romanji[1].

- yorwba 7y agoUnicode support for URLs came only late (and the encoding looks ugly), so most popular websites even in countries with non-Roman scripts still use ASCII. E.g. Baidu's Chinese address would be 百度.中国 http://百度.中国/ http://xn--wxtr44c.xn--fiqs8s/ but they didn't even bother to register it, instead still using http://www.baidu.com/ http://www.baidu.com/ So internet users will be at least somewhat familiar with the alphabet.
