I'm Brazilian. My naming style consists in doing almost all in English, except of course when messages need to be shown to users in Portuguese.

But it's common in some (smaller) companies to name variables and classes in our native language. I've seen this cause a lot of issues when a company that I worked was bought by another from the US, making it necessary to "internationalize" the code.
