Re:Show HN: Programming in non-English languages by ifdefdebug on Monday June 08, 2015 @06:08AM (#9678106)
Well it's not as easy as some of the posts here suggest, like all you need from English is "if", "for", "while" and little more. Don't forget about the libraries coming with each language. You'll also have to map "memcpy" to "memory" and "copy" and know those words, or understand what a "TreeViewItemCollection" is for, just to give two examples out of tens of thousands.

Said that, I think trying to localize programming just isn't going to work. If you want to program, you'd better get along with the English language.
