For non English speaking coders...
Especially if working in

requires common language & terminology in code and business

Yet, I see many benefits of coding in English....
- code homogeneity between public front end and internal code
- easier to find subcontractors
- English kinda is _the_ standard
- devs are more used to it
- pear review
- "auditability" (For context, my company's lg is FR... but HQ is British)
- ...

What do you do ?

(Boosts appreciated)

@dgoosens Mixed....

It highly depends on the customer. Some (german) customers have so german terminology that it is almost impossible to transfer that into english. Those words stay in german. Which then becomes a rather mixed business-language 😂

But when the well known abbreviation of a business-term is already longer than most english words.... (and unpronouncable anyhow. Think "RflEttÜAÜG" - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindflei)

@heiglandreas
OMG...
I bet that word was really invented by a Java developer

@dgoosens I'd rather say by a Lawyer. But the overlap seems to be not small 🙈

And Yes! Some class- or methodnames might exceed the 120 character line "limit" 😁
