Knowing English definitely is an advantage, but how big?
If you’re not interested in an international careeer (many people aren’t), you have quality education available in your local language, and there’s a thriving local tech scene I don’t see why it has to be that much of a disadvantage.
There are many other languages that are big and used by tens of millions of people. In most of those languages you can find all the books, courses, and conversations you need to take up computering.

- matz1 6y agoGoogle search is engineered to show most relevant result for you. Of course it wouldn't show you other languages result. There are tons of resources in other languages but you wouldn't aware of it, you wouldn't even know how to look for it because you don't know the language.
