Especially in Mandarin & Japanese speaking countries – for example: how does variable & function naming work if the language primarily consists of symbolic characters?
In: Technology
There are keywords in the language that must be in English. However, variables, function names, etc, they don’t.
I previously worked somewhere where I worked with our Chinese team a lot. I would see their code and couldn’t understand a lot of it because the variables names were all in Chinese. Or if they were in English, it would be acronyms of the first pinyin character for the Chinese characters. Like home phone number would be written as “JTDHHM” for “jiā tíng diàn huà hào mǎ”
I mean, I also worked with our Brazilian team, and it would be similar with the variables named Portuguese things.
