When I code for myself I do all the naming in German only. Mainly because that's how I can see directly if that stupid mess is done by me or the framework.

    Ewwww. I sometimes (really rare) can't think of an English name but I'd rather name my variables like this_is_a_long_name_coz_I_suck than ichBinDeutsch or something lol

    You rly need to stop this. Try to look from non-german speaker view. Its mess without any sense at all. Or trying to translate every fucking method in translator... It fucking retarded.

    @P1Ro I only do that in projects where I only work for myself on or where every team member will ever guaranteed speak German.
    If there are English only speakers who work on the code base or who possibly want to read it or who possibly will work on it, there, of course, it would be very contraproductive to code in a language they don't understand.

    @P1Ro well obviously the op said it was his personal project so I guess nobody else will see his code. But for me English var naming is a religion. If I always use English var names I'll get my 72 virgins. Also I would love to kill my teacher for teaching German var naming

    It's really hard in uni when they give us a project which uses German class names/variables and we are not allowed to change them ... Then I don't know if I should name my methods in German or English and it ends up being a total mess of English and German

    I started to do everything in English at some point, code, doc, commit messages. It makes things so much easier.
    Beside that if you can't distinguish your code from library code you should probably use a proper naming scheme and/or use a library/language with a proper naming scheme.

    That’s cool :). Can we see? I have always wanted to see what German Code would look like.
