My mother tongue is Malagasy, the official language of Madagascar alongside French. Discussing CS or any other scientific matters in that language at least in my opinion is theoretically possible as there is a book on the Java programming language written in Malagasy. I have made some attempts myself trying to explain Python on the Malagasy Wikibooks [1] and on the Malagasy Wikipedia as well [2]. So yes, formally it _is_ possible. There is quite an extensive vocabulary pertaining to mathematics [3] as well, most of which having been crafted in the 70s and 80s as part of a nationwide effort to use Malagasy academically. The beauty of it is that they consist of native words as well as "malagasized" words. In practice, sadly, it never happens. All university courses are taught in French, if not in English for the most advanced ones. And no company that I've heard of use Malagasy as a formal working language :( [1] https://mg.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python https://mg.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python [2] https://mg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solosaina https://mg.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solosaina [3] http://kajy.blogspot.com/2011/04/ireo-voambolana-matematika-malagasy.html http://kajy.blogspot.com/2011/04/ireo-voambolana-matematika-...
