Does everyone have to write software based on English?

Asked by LostInParadise (31905points) June 8th, 2012

I have never seen a computer language with commands based on anything other than English. Do Chinese programmers in Java or C have to use English words like “string,” “integer,” “for and ” if”, or are the words translated for them? Are they required to name things using our alphabet? Can they at least insert comments based on Chinese characters?
