Polish native speaker. Since I'm self taught and back when I started there wasn't much information available online in my native language nearly all the learning and coding I'd done has been in English. Early on in some personal projects I might have used Polish words/phrases for variables or function names. But generally even then talking or reading about the programming concepts felt weird when done not in English. I still cringe upon hearing some of the "creative" translations done in this field.
