Programming in non-English Countries

[Apathetic]

I have a question for all you programmers in Europe and Asia. When your countries native language is something other than English or better yet, you have a non-roman alphabet (e.g. Cyrillic). Do you still type code in English? Obviously, your text messages will be in your native language, but what about the reserved words?

Do you still type code that looks exactly like this? What happens if your alphabet doesn't have anything that even looks like an "i"?

C
for (i=0; i<10; i++)
DoSomeThing;

VB.Net
For i = 1 To 10
DoSomeThing
Next

We just pirate it instead. 😀

j/k

I know Russians use their alphabet, at least the one I used to work with.

As far as I can tell, in Taiwan & China, they code in English.

It doesn't really matter if your i looks like an i or a squiggly line, lol. The compiler doesn't give a sh1t. Just hope you don't have to read a program written in cyrillic font 😛
