If you’re from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

    Not sure about today but VBA (in the MS Office products) actually had translated keywords because Microsoft is batshit insane.

      Cucumber/Gherkin also has translated keywords (even Emoji… smh) but there it actually makes sense because you actually write it in natural language.

        I am sceptical of natural language programming in general but I am also fairly certain that you would have to do a lot more than just translate the keywords to get something that looks natural in another language. Word order is different in many languages for one.
