HTML in other languages?

I have been thinking about this for about 15 minutes ... do people that live other countries that don't speak English still code in English letters? By that I mean do they use html/php/asp or are there special ones with there letters and not English. I'm pretty ignorant on this subject so maybe you guys can help me out.  8)

No all scripting languages are written in english, so as a programmer you must have some basic english knowledge.

Wow. No other country has made there own. Thats truely amazing...

It is not about countries as W3C is an international organism that decides the standards for the web.

The only thing that made the computer science "talk" english is because the whole thing started in USA where english is the native language :)

Yeah but if I didn't know english I would want html or w/e in my language lol. That would probably be hard though.

I have an associate who doesn't know english, and he is a developer. It is very difficult, that's for sure....

I would say so. I have a hard time doing it and I know english... wait I think thats pretty sad on my part.  >:(

No it's ok. Programming is not about language ;)

Of course you can write your own programming language in a diff. language, but the problem is you write this language only for a few people.

I think there are japanse programming languages, but most of the time it takes to much time to develope this kind of "forreign" languages.

Just an example, I program reports for navision attain this done by their own language. the problem is their are not so much good programmers and you can't ask so much people like if you write php scripts.

programming languages are supposed to help people to do the same thing with same code/functions...

While I admit to perhaps a somewhat biased point of view, I'm glad that programming languages are based on one universal language. My native tongue is English so I admit to a bias and happily enjoy the benefits of English being the programming language of choice.

But, think about the other side of it, I write <code></code>, Olaf would write something else, Nik would write something else and so on. As big a POS as IE, just imagine it having to be able to take all the translations for the word code and turn it into something (probably code in English) - and hopefully display the information in the same way. YIKES! or worse yet, every language would require a completely different version of each web browser.

It's not so different from all airline pilots and air traffic controllers needing to speak English so they can converse with each other. It's too bad there's not such things as universal translators - beam me up Scotty.  ???

just forgot...

If you code in XML you may use other languages, but you have to write the stylesheet with english langauge style information ;)

YMC thats a very good point. It would be extremely hard to get the browsers to all convert to read the languages.
