Why Stack Overflow in Portuguese?

> edit: I noticed I just wrote "de" instead of "the". Stupidest mistake I often make.

I've worked with a lot of developers from China, who themselves work with developers in India. On a conference call the China sysadmin announces they've verified the C Jia Jia environment and the India developer totally knows what they mean.

C++ in Mandarin is pronounced C Jia Jia.

Don't sweat it.

Weird, I work in China and have never heard C++ referred to as C加加.

Many of my coworkers feel uncomfortable using English sometimes, but I never have a problem understanding them. The Indians speak English at work (in India at least) out of habit.

We actually call C++ C艹, and call C# C井

I could try, but I can't get C加油 out of my head.

I am a Chinese but I don't understand what do you ( or they) mean by "they've verified the C Jia Jia environment".

Care to elaborate?
