Should identifiers and comments be always in English or in the native language of the application and developers?
For people who are not native English speakers, which language do you use to declare variables, classes, etc. ?
I had to continue a project from a Spanish guy. Everything was written in Spanish.
Since this time, I have decided to use English identifiers ( variables, classes, file names) and write comments in french. Everything was in french before that.
What are the general recommendations about that practice?
Do you use English everywhere knowing that no English people will work on your project ?
