I speak 5 languages fluently and often I get asked what language I am thinking in. Been in the states for 20 years I can say that most of my thinking is in English however from time to time I catch my self thinking in different languages even when I am working on some project.
How about you ?

Well I have an issue while coding because our institute all our devs are spanish speakers and sometimes I have an issue if I have to code at english or in spanish. If I follow the standards should be in english but after all I finish doing some kind of spanglish 😅
I speak Spanish and English.
It depends on the context, whenever I am reading or listening to a podcast, I am thinking in English.
Other than that I think mostly in my mother language, which is Spanish. When I try to express something I tend to use false cognates.
Ah my mind in always speaking Hindi, but it gets converted to English as I write code :)
I speak Spanish, English and French; Most of the time when I'm developing, I'm thinking in English but when I have a problem or bug, I found helpful to think about the problem in other languages. Give it a try!!
After reading your question, I started to think and reached the conclusion that I don't really know in which language I think while programming. While I'm sure it gets converted to english finally when I write the code :P.
