Are all programming languages based on English? - eviltoast

If you’re from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

    Cucumber/Gherkin also has translated keywords (even Emoji… smh) but there it actually makes sense because you actually write it in natural language.

      I am sceptical of natural language programming in general but I am also fairly certain that you would have to do a lot more than just translate the keywords to get something that looks natural in another language. Word order is different in many languages for one.
