As a general recommendation for HN is to keep the discussion in English, so more people can understand it and even give an opinion. Even people for Germany can make suggestions about problem with Unicode support or other problems from the non-100%-ascii world. Also, they may share some examples and experience in their own languages. Most people developing shareware here in Argentina is instructed by the business to use variables and function names in English. It blends better with the programming language functions, and it's easier to sell to an international company later. I broke that rule sometimes. For example in my university we have a few "sedes" that can be translated to "building" or "campus" or whatever, but I never got a good translation, so I keep "sede" as the variable name. I remember a version of Logo and a version of Pascal in Spanish, used to teach kids a long time ago. I'm not convinced it helps the students, but my guess is teachers are less afraid of it. For something profesional that mix the best of Go, Rust and Pony, I recommend to keep an English base, until we conquer the world and force everyone to speak in es-ar.
