I guess the main issue is that languages outside of English generally don't have equivalent words for all of CS terms. I always have trouble explaining what I do (software engineering) in French without resorting to using English words, just because most words don't exist in French, or they don't mean exactly what you mean.
This reminds me that I can't stand people coding in languages other than English. Variable names/comments in French? No thanks.

- cgrand-net 6y agoIt’s also a matter of habit. We are just too used to English words even when French ones exist. Go try and read Principes d’Implantation (sic) de Scheme et Lisp (the original Lisp In Small Pieces): pure unadulterated French and, to me, a constant struggle as I have to translate expressions to English!

- rnotaro 6y agoAre you from France ? In Canada (Québec) we are often using French words while discussing CS. I've noticed that French immigrants are also using a lot of English words even in random day-to-day words. We called it "L'anglais de France" (France's English) [1] [1] https://lactualite.com/culture/langlais-de-france/ https://lactualite.com/culture/langlais-de-france/
