    I teach my students to just code in English from the start. Not all languages/compilers/linkers/whatever handles the Danish characters ‘æ’, ‘ø’, and ‘å’ all that predictably, most companies will require you to use English for international collaboration, and besides most documentation is in English anyway. Last reason is why I urge my students to just use English versions when available. Some FLOSS translations are crap, and you can’t just copy paste an error into askjeeves and get an answer.

    The only thing that has to be in Danish is Excel automation, because for some bizarre reason Microsoft translated all some of the functions. I say some because I’ve seen functions in English that just wasn’t available in Danish Excel.
