Ask HN: Do you code review in English, or use native language?

2 pointsby beirut_bootlegabout 5 years ago
What language do you use when doing code reviews and submitting internal issues when your entire team&#x27;s native language is not English?<p>Me and the team I am currently leading all share the same first language, but we still do code reviews in English. The only reasons for this are that this how we&#x27;ve been doing it since the beginning of time, and we&#x27;re considering a time when someone else would be taking over the project, or we&#x27;d be joined by contributors that don&#x27;t speak the same language as us. I feel like this is sometimes hurting collaboration, and was wondering if there&#x27;s merit in switching to our native language.<p>What language do non-English HN users collaborate internally with their compatriots in GitHub&#x2F;GitLab issues and PRs? I&#x27;m only asking because Google is being a pita by thinking I mean programming language.
