I ask because sometimes I feel very silly when writing clumsily in English and even sillier when I have to look up how to spell a particular word.

This is expected Canadian source code:
// cache the colour in case we need it later for the neighbour color = fetchColor(); neighbor.color = color;When language keywords are all written in American English it’s foolish to try to author your code in a different language. But comments are fair game.
German here.
I am not writing anything in my code in German. All of my code, my variables, my default texts, my comments, my documentation, my UI strings, etc. are always and explicitly in English.
The only German I use, is when I provide translations for UI or documentation.
I write in the official communication language of the company, because that’s guaranteed that everyone that will be hired will have to speak that language. I came from Brazil and it is a massive country and most of the population doesn’t have access to good English courses, so I like to go with the easiest solution for all future joiners
They should all be written in Esperanto.
