CP in other languages
-
Documentation is in English. The keywords of the language you use are English. Meaning the framework will be alien if you do not recognize the class-names. As soon as you can code in a foreign language (meaning all the keywords are translated), then you can use that foreign language. You'd find that it becomes a maintenance nightmare quickly. I oppose translating articles - learning to program means learning English :)

It's actually only in English for a very specific purpose: so that it's not in French. Once that dead language is abandoned as obsolete we can reconsider your question.

Can you imagine the sheer volume of effort (not to mention the volume of space) it would take? To be fair, you'd nave to have translations of all articles, tips, questions, answers, blogs, comments, and posts into each supported language before any of the others were published. And those translations would all have to be done by people who are both competent in the language translation, but technically competent in the subject material as well! Oh, yes - you'd need translation moderation as well. Can you imagine how difficult it would be just to find the right people to handle each particular article? For example, you may be very competent in English and Yoruba, but are you fluent in SQL? And C#? And Arduino?, And MVC, SCRUM, javascript, C++, assembler, Nido, WCF, Winnow, Webcams, Cinchoo, and SMS? Because that's just the front page articles from the web site at the moment! Things would grind to a halt, very quickly, and wouldn't pick back up again for a long time, if ever. Sorry - but I don't think it would work! :laugh:

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Well, think about it. Learning to fly means learning English as well...

It may sound like a drawback when one starts, but it is actually a big advantage. There's a LOT of people out there that both program AND speak English. You don't have to be good at it, but it sure does help if you know the meaning of the words "Open" and "Close". Otherwise, you'd have to remember a lot of weird names, which equals to learning the language.

@Chris-Maunderr: Just wondering when CP will be available in other languages. It will be tough job though considering the number of articles uploaded daily (they will have to be available in such languages too). Could help with Yoruba anyways ;P
Much of it is already in Greek. And some would say that there are too many languages already, e.g. Java and VB.

This will be ridiculously complex and infeasible!

But style is important, so I suggest Shakespeare[^].

With some of the articles, I have to wonder when they'll be available in English.

It's been discussed and it's on my TODO. It's a great idea, and one we actually tried, oh, 15 years ago? It never worked, but we can do it better / easier this time.
