Brazilian here.

I only use Portuguese for one main reason: it's impossible to effectively translate specific business domain vocabulary without creating ambiguity and confusion between developers and stakeholders. This is called Ubiquitous Language in Domain Driven Design.

We've tried once to mix languages (Portuguese for domain and English for the rest), but it quickly became a total mess.
