Was it a Z or a S or a double S?". . . Sidenote, people who don't speak English doesn't use Code Review - @JukkaK.Korpela | |

Having them in English blends with the language and makes a coherent whole, as opposed to a soup of mixed-up languages. I maintain a code base with mixed English, French and Spanish and it's a nightmare. +1 for keeping the code sane and readable, and for an excellent code review that doesn't deserve a downvote just for the first couple words. | |

Korpela | While the use of English in identifiers is often a practical choice, you should remember that the vast majority of people on Earth do not understand English, or understand it very little. There are large communities of programmers that use their own language. Besides, using any other language but English makes it more obvious which words are reserved words or predefined or library names as opposite to identifiers chosen by the programmer. | |
