You'd better check the followings.<br /><br />It's not just in the books.<br />documents and every interesting texts<br />What we need are good programmers.<br />It's not what we do.<br />We deal with programming languages in Japanese, not in English.<br />"It's a function which opens a file"<br />We think it ファイルを開く関数<br />We think "fopen" as a kind of identifier<br />they banned foreign culture Sakoku<br />many western technologies were far superior to ours at that time.<br />The only way to prevent that is to learn.<br /><br />I'm not a native speaker either, as you have guessed.<br />Japanese including me cannot handle English well, but English does us, since English is the basic language in today's world, especially in computing.<br />I felt this post is a mass of inferiority complex and justification you couldn't do well, while contains boasts to Japanese who cannot use at all.<br />It's a shame article for foreign programmers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636872937372639901.post-53954558374794190912014-03-05T00:15:11.431+09:002014-03-05T00:15:11.431+09:00"Japanese programmers don't know English&..."Japanese programmers don't know English"<br />of couarse they know about English, just you dont know how to use engrish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636872937372639901.post-14709767716067246792011-04-28T13:31:16.201+09:002011-04-28T13:31:16.201+09:00Japanese never give up Japanese language.
Almost a...Japanese never give up Japanese language.<br />Almost all English programming books are translated to Japanese.<br />And of course many Japanese write programming book in Japanese too.<br /><br />Does Hebrew has that many translations?江添亮https://www.blogger.com/profile/13387122818743087721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636872937372639901.post-13716010233892523372011-04-28T06:20:10.828+09:002011-04-28T06:20:10.828+09:00I don't know how long we can keep doing this. ...<i>I don't know how long we can keep doing this. We need a common language and English is the best candidate whether we like it or not. Eventually, minor languages will slowly fade away. I think Japanese language survives. Well at least I hope so. </i><br /><br /><br />This is very good point that you had missed all over discussions there. And still you write it down.<br /><br />Yes, English as basic language is the best candidate for localization<br />as it makes it easier to adopt the<br />software.<br /><br />If you write<br /><br /> MessageBox(translate(L"平和"))<br /><br />And it would not appear in the translation dictionary 99% of users will not be able what does this stage icon means...<br /><br />While when you write:<br /><br /> MessageBox(translate(L"Peace"))<br /><br />90% of users all over the world of<br />the program will understand it...<br /><br />So if you developing a software that<br />is going to be used all over the world... Do yourself a favor and don't let your programmers to write Japanese in the code.<br /><br />And you know what?<br /><br />I really hope English and English culture will not destroy all local cultures like Japanese or Hebrew.<br /><br />ArtyomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
