My native language is spanish, and while I obviously have discussions with colleagues in spanish we constantly weave english terms in our talks.
In fact, friends and girlfriends outside the industry have always laughed at the fact that when I talk with coworkers half the words we use are in english.
Why? Well, it's NOT only a vocabulary problem as others have said. Some terms are untranslatable, yes, but also every good documentation or resource you come across will be in english, code itself is in english, and so I spend 90% of my day THINKING in english. We end up using english expressions that have nothing to do with programming during regular conversation.
