The Multilingual Software Engineer: Why “Bonjour, World” Beats Just “Hello, World”

“Hello, World!” Ah, the sweet, comforting phrase that has held the hands of novice coders as they took their first trembling steps into the world of software engineering.

Would the world come crumbling down? Nein, non, absolutely not! <h1>The Code Speaks English, But Does Your Team?</h1> You’ve probably noticed that most programming languages have their roots in English. Loops, functions, and variables all feel like a cozy Sunday morning if you’re fluent in it. But let’s be honest, how many times have you been in a meeting, and someone throws in some German efficiency or French philosophy to make a point? “Gut gemacht!” your German colleague might say, or “C’est la vie” from the French team lead when a project gets delayed. <a href="https://mabroukmahdhi.medium.com/the-multilingual-software-engineer-why-bonjour-world-beats-just-hello-world-efcd4ed85817">Visit Now</a>
