One thing that's felt weird to me is Mockito & friends, and some badly-implemented builder APIs. They're trying to read like natural language, but when the order matters and it's unclear what the order is really supposed to be, the natural language metaphor breaks down and you're better off having it made clear what 'parts of speech' each call is and what the required order is. I would imagine stuff like that makes a language harder to translate because instead of words, you now have an ordering that might not work. I was surprised to see so few languages on that list where it was essentially a direct keyword translation. There's very little English in C-like languages until you actually start naming everything in the libraries.
