Coding in Other (Spoken) Languages

Something i've always wondered, and I can't find any mention of it anywhere online. When a shop from, say Japan, writes code, would I be able to read it in english? Or do languages, like C, php, anything, have Japanese translations that they write? I guess what i'm asking is does every single coder in the world know enough english to us...

Best practice in designing relational database for spoken language variant

Well, here is a small problem. I am to design a web application database to use what is, basically, one spoken language. However this language has two alphabets (Latin & Cyrillic) and three spoken variants that actually have only some minor differences (I think there is several hundred words that are slightly different).

Resources for translating common programming terms for UI into other languages

I have a site set up for a plugin I wrote, and, rather than use the site's resources to write their own code, I've had people simply rip the code from the samples on the site. N...

Translating code comments written in another spoken language

I've just inherited some C code from a German programmer, and all of the comments are, naturally, in German. As I've forgotten most of my high school German, this is a slight problem. Does anyone know of any translation tools that are code-aware; meaning it will only translate language within comments? The project has many files, bein...

Design patterns for multiple language website?

Lets say I'm designing a website where we have English, French, Spanish, German, and Korea (I'm not, but lets pretend I am). I cannot rely upon services such as google translate, as the nature of the website is not for entertainment but business. Lets say I have access to professional translators that can translate something in context ...
