Exactly. I spoke about comments only. I can turn blind eye on occasional non-English comment or short note here and there. But naming variables and functions in local language is an inexcusable sin. I am from small country of Czechia with 10 mil people. Naming function in Czech is utterly stupid. Even if you’re sole developer, there’s a good chance you’ll want to paste a snippet to stackoverflow, sooner or later have a collaborator from nearby Ukraine or Pakistan (very common), or god forbid! - your product will be so successful someone will want to buy it. Good luck if the code base is littered with language nobody speaks :-)
- porkbrain 5y agoThe problem with Czech is our extended alphabet and, more importantly, conjugated forms of verbs and nouns. You can't make the code sound good without proper conjugation, but of course no mainstream programing language supports it.
