   How do foreigners write code?
  This may be a silly question but i''ll ask it anyway.In countries where very few people speak English(the best example I can think of is probably Japan) how do they write code?It must be a pain using something like the .NET Framework if you can''t read English. If you wanted to use say, a Linked List then how would they know that the Linked List was in System.Collections.LinkedList? 
  hm...maybe they know English more than you expect? ;  Be assured that they know far more English than you know of their language. ;  Actually in Japan most of the younger people can speek english, and mikerowesoft probably has a japanese version of all of there software, I mean how else would they use windows?   My Homepage | My Forums Please Register | Google;  It wouldn''t be too hard,a few extra comments,maybe a #define or two.google found some examples. ;  japanese people probably know more english than you do. ;  Japanese now learn English from grade school.  The can read and understand it really good.  They just don''t usually have many changes to practice speaking it.  However, back on the point, I think us English speaking types are just lucky that English centric languages took off.  I have never really came across a foriegn langugage programming language before.  When I worked at Canon in Tokyo, all their comments were in Japanese though, and many of their variables were either incorrect English (ex. Hedder) or Japanese.  ;  They use UNICODE ;I, like all other Finns, speak pretty good English, and therefore have never had any problems understanding words like ''linked list''. And I, like all other Finnish programmers I know, do all commenting, variable names and technical documentation in English..bas   [sPiKie] mmorpg isnt hard in vb;  Most people in other countries can use technical English to a degree that''s useful, given that it''s the language of technology (as French was the language of diplomacy pre-Napoleon era).
