I'm really curious now. If you don't mind me asking, how did you learn the meanings of the keywords when they were in a language you didn't understand? Did you have to learn to translate "for", "while", etc into Russian equivalents?
- EugeneOZ 7y agoI knew meaning of "if then else", "function", "go", "return", other keywords were just keywords for me - I knew what they do and it was enough.
- usrusr 7y agoSame way you learn to use the ternary operator in c-ish languages? All the binary operators that have no equivalent in daily life?
- gumby 7y agoHow do you learn to read music when all the keywords are in Italian? Do you have to learn to translate “fortissimo” etc into English equivalents?
- rfhjt 7y agoContext. I don't know what lingua franka means, but I also know what it means. I could bother and find literal translation, but why would I? The same applies to obscure English words, weird programming language keywords or math symbols. Integral and differential symbols don't really translate into anything and we use the word "integral" only because we can't type this symbol on an average keyboard.
