> For whatever reason, instead of localizing go jargon like the chess community has done, the Go community just uses native japanese terms for everything.

Uhhh... give this Japanese page a looksie: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/jp/8/docs/api/index.html

I think we got the better trade. Just my opinion though. Games which are more popular in the far-east will naturally use far-east terminology.

Similarly, things Americans do will get American-terms associated with them (IE: Programming Java). Its the nature of international trade. Even a Japanese-centric language, like Ruby, is largely composed of English terms to continue to appeal to the greater programming community. (Japanese programmers would learn "for" and "while" loops anyway, despite it being foreign terms).

Semaphores are "P" and "V" canonically meaning something in Dutch. Someone tried to explain it to me once, but you pretty much have to learn Dutch for the meaning of it all.

Anyway, its the nature of working internationally. Gotta learn tidbits of the other people's language to really understand something.
