    I worked with one of the authors of the Brazilian SQL. It was exactly what it looks, every reserved word translated to Brazilian Portuguese.

      Oh shit, I’d never get anything done, as I’d imagine my lovely friend’s accent reading this shit out. Selecione * de tbl_minha-tabela onde nome não é nulo Hahaha! I love it!

        That reminds me, I had to modify a program written in VB once. The guy who created it wrote every table, every column, every view in Portuguese, WITH ACCENTS! It works, we simply have to put everything between brackets, but it doesn’t add anything to clarity. It looks awful and seems pedantic.

    I prefer to code by yelling at Chat GPT, copy-pasting to Grok, telling Grok Chat GPT said it couldn’t write cleaner code, then going back and forth between the 2 with fake insults from the other until one declares a Jihad on the other. I think it’s called “vibe coding”.

    Pretty sure druckef should be drucked. printf means print (to) file. “File” is valid German, but it is non-standard and “Datei” seems to be the preferred form.

    I could also argue that that d should be capitalised, but I’m already overstepping my bounds considering I know very little German.

    I wouldn’t want to say which should take precedence between C’s preference for all-lowercase keywords and functions and German’s Rule to capitalise all Nouns.

      DDP has the following data types: Zahl (long), Kommazahl (double), Buchstabe (char), Text (string), Wahrheitswert (bool) und Listen (list)

      Gottimhimmel, that would drive me crazy, and I’m German.

      The code screenshot is pretty nice though. Actual grammar in there, full sentences that “Goethe would be proud of”.

      Why? Programming language isn’t a natural language. In fact, I think not knowing English makes it easier, since you cannot attach any preconceived notions, assumptions, or word order to keywords. I learned some Pascal, Visual Basic and whatever GameMaker used at the time without being fluent in English.

      Foreign? For some these languages are native. Foreign is relative.

      (I’m just being pedantic, i understand that relatively to you - and me - this is foreign)

    you need to compile c with a c++ compiler to be able to define macros for keywords iirc. But I did do this once to translate c to my native language, Maltese. It was cursed

        It doesn’t fit very well in this context, the idea behind “beinhalten” is that the subject “includes” the object (i.e. the object is part of the content of the subject), but the #include command in the C preprocessor isn’t about describing that kind of situation, it’s a command “I want to include one file in another”, a better verb in German for that is “einbinden”. (I realize this isn’t a very good explanation, but I’m a native speaker of German and can tell you that no one would use the verb “beinhalten” in this context.)

        The previous commenter’s German teacher likely prefers “enthalten” instead of “beinhalten”, which has the same problem in this context though.

        Maybe incorrect rebracketing? It’s supposed to be be-inhalten, not bein-halten. Otherwise maybe a writing style thing…

      I must be old because I remember that as being the standard form until Java popularized

      <visibility> <static?> <type> <name> {

      I mean I’m not that old, but I was reading more C and C++ books and tutorials when I was a kid, because “ew Java”
