Is HTML the same in all languages?

[Koenigsegg]

With codes like <align>, <table>, etc..do foreign HTMLers need to learn how these work and all that?

 

[Quasmo]

thats a damn good question.

 

[So]

Yeah.

(which is another reason that english is the international languauge)

It's a standard, there's no French HTML, German HTML, Spanish HTML, etc. It's all in english.

of course, don't be silly.

So it's the same for all the other languages too? Java, C++, etc..so if you're a foreign programmer you have to learn these phrases?

How about when developers design classes for their format? Would they stick with english, like forum.post() or what?

I think we should standardize on Farsi! So few people know that language that it would be an equal pain for everybody.

It's not that hard, I don't think it <tag> & <class> helps all that much because it's in English.

They memorize them and treat it as simple HTML commands, same as us. HTML stays as a single static 'program language'. If they were different for each cultures, it would be a compatibility nightmare.

it's the same for all languages. They can name variables, methods, classes anything they want.

Hmm, guess they do, from the link above..

function as_login() {
var bool = false;
bool = chk_Main(document.plogin);
if (bool){
if(document.plogin.chk_ssl.checked){
document.plogin.action = "https://www.jinzai-bank.net/status_10.cfm";
}else{
document.plogin.action = "http://www.jinzai-bank.net/status_10.cfm";
}
document.plogin.submit();
}
}

Everything is in english. Even Koreans have to type in links in english. But then again, English language is pretty universal so everyone in the world knows more than basic language functions.

I was taught English in Korea as early as in 5th grade.

Compilers can be written to understand any language but everything I've come across has been in English. You can often tell a non-English for first language speaking programmer by his variable and class names. Those will often be in the native language as spelled using the English alphabet. Same with comments/documentation.

 

[Noirish]

all programming languages are in english.
