This is a topic in which I would like us to discuss in a little. Its a very interesting topic.

This is a question I've been wondering for a while: How do people speaking a different languages program/script?

It seems that all programming/scripting languages are written in English. Why is that? And is it possible to actually program in a different language?

Let's look at an example:

Let create a simple function in JavaScript (in English):

function alertBox(message){
alert(message);
}

But what if you'rer German, for example, and you don't know English and your life passion is to program/script? Do you have to learn English or is this possible:

funckion alarmierenBox(nachricht){
alert(nachricht);
}

It doesn't seem that would work.

Has anyone else ever though of this? Or am I the only one?

Well, give me your thoughts below and I hope someone can give me an idea of how people speaking a different language program/script because the only thing I can think of is another program that would translate it.

Thanks for the answers. :)

Answer 1

I have only ever seen one foreign language in programming - Pascal in French with Debut and Finis instead of Begin and End

You could do

var alarmierenBox = function(nachricht){
  alert(nachricht);
}
