able to understand and make themselves understandable in).

Code is written in English because the programming languages are done in 
english (and most won't allow foreign char variables etc.).

Most programs though (at least those that i see - here in Denmark) that 
are used by everyday people - the office clerk - the secretary - the 
corporate boss etc. *is* internationalized - it *will* use and allow 
foreign characters - like my everyday: æøå - and for my friends a bit 
south (around 80Km) üß and for my friends east of me (around 150Km): äöä 
and for my friends to the north (around 150Km) ......

whether this be simple iso8859-1 or UTF-8 i don't care - but one of my 
customers would - he trades alot with chinese, taiwanese etc. - so ....
