Coding in Other (Spoken) Languages
- by contagious
Something i've always wondered, and I can't find any mention of it anywhere online. When a shop from, say Japan, writes code, would I be able to read it in english? Or do languages, like C, php, anything, have Japanese translations that they write?
I guess what i'm asking is does every single coder in the world know enough english to use the exact same reserved words I do?
Would this code:
If (i < size){
switch
case 1:
print "hi there"
default:
print "no, thank you"
} else {
print "yes, thank you"
}
display the exact same as I'm seeing it right now in english, or would some other non-english-speaking person see the words "if", "switch", "case", "default", "print", and "else" in their native language?
EDIT - yes, this is serious. I didn't know if different localiztions of a language have different keywords. or if there are even different localizations at all.
