I am a native German speaker and developer. Literally every resource I look up on the internet concerning my work I look up in English. I actually start thinking about my problems in English.
When MDN shows me content in German the first thing I do is switch to English to lower the cognitive load.
I can just speak for myself, but jumping back and forth between two languages is adding unnecessary cognitive load.
I also never ever heard someone talk about the "Meisterzweig" in a Git repository.
- pintxo 6y agoI also immediately switch to the English version of any documentation. Worst offender here is the MS knowledge base with it’s really bad auto-translations. For me part of the reason most people use English in CS boils down to the English textbooks being better.
