I've heard it said (by coworkers) that everyone "codes in English" regardless of where they're from. I find that difficult to believe, however I wouldn't be surprised if, for most programming languages, the supported character set is relatively narrow.
Have you ever worked in a country where English is not the primary language?
If so, what did their code look like?
Edit: Code samples would be great, by the way...
