> Have you considered how Chinese developers feel when they must not only browse English documentation, but learn English keywords present in every major programming language? How accessible do you think StackOverflow is to Mandarin speakers?

Is it that much different than for native German/French/Spanish/etc. speakers?

> There is no need to force developers to learn an entire new language to be useful to the community as a whole. At the end of the day, it is the code that matters.

This might be controversial, but I think being able to understand english will help a lot in better code. Why? Because most of the article in the field are in english, open source projects are in english, etc. The more you can read those and the more you can learn from them, the better your own code will be.
