Hey there, Portuguese here too.

I only use English for programming for two main reasons:

  1. It's the "accepted" language amongst most developers because it's more mainstream.
  2. When I write code I like to think that other people (which I don't know where they are from or what their native language is) will probably come along in collaborating, so it's better that it is understandable by everybody (which takes us back to point 1).

Although I'm not thinking about changing this approach, I'd like to know others opinions.
