My 2 cents on this discussion as a brazilian, is that some business logic and terms doesn’t exists on english. so how you would describe them? there’s no “boleto” mean in english, neither for “pix”, “carnê” and so many other terms that translating would lose the original meaning… so yes, sometimes i prefer to code in portuguese (comments, variables and database tables/columns).
also, if a local company only had brazilian workers that don’t know english, why to make the effort to translate everything to the “world language”
“but if a remote developer start to working on this company they would need to learn the mother language” yes that is literally what i need to do, as a brazilian remote freelancer who need to understand english for international companies…
now, if you’re building an open source library that indeed the target public is the “world”, it makes more sense to code in english
