Thread: Non-English Languages

  1. #21

    Non-English Languages

    when i started programming i knew a little english but i also grew up in the beginning of the internet age. mostly i would just know that a specific series of characters would produce a specific operation. i didn't know what most of the words meant but i understood the purpose of those and memorized them

    Ofcourse i learnt all my programming knowledge at that time through danish books and secondarily through "trial and error"

    Added!

    Sorry again if I miss languages. There are a ton of 'em and I used a rather crude method of gathering them. :lol:

    If one is missing, like before, just ask me and I'll add it and you can vote once I've it.

    By the way Lithuania looks like a very beautiful country.

    Actually there is quite a lot of Delphi programmers in Sweden. Some years ago I recall Anders Ohlsson (from Borland) saying that Sweden and New Zeeland were the two markets with the highest percentage of Delphi compared to other programming languages.

    Good to hear. I don't know too many myself though, but then, I am primarily a Mac programmer. Let's hope some of those sewdish Delphi users find this place some time.

    Hmm... as more and more members add their primary languages, you can sort of see some interesting statistics here.

    I figured there would be a lot more german speaking members and notice that there is noit too much exposure to the east-asian countries(China,
    Thailand, Japan, South Korea, India) with a rapidly growing computer and tech market over there, it would be nice to have a peice. Perhaps it's just that English just doesn't get around as much in most of asia. :?

    I am surprised there is only one Hebrew speaking member. More surprising is that 'someone' forgot to add Hebrew to the list even though it is one the ancients languages..

    (..actually it didn’t came to me as that of a shock, just trying to shake off the "2 bit apprentice". Speaking of which how come its 2 bit if I have more then 3 posts?)

    I thought we have more germans here. In the old DelphiSanctuary forums there were lots of germans

    But we all speak the Pascal Delphi Language. :lol:

    I thought so too. Considering that there is a huge German Pascal-based community. I guess that doesn't mean that the majority of them can speak english, I guess.

    and why is that?

    Code:
    Self.ActiveLanguage&#58;= Delphi;
    If Sender is TPerson then
      If TPerson&#40;Sender&#41;.ActiveLanguage <> Self.ActiveLanguage then
        If TPerson&#40;Sender&#41;.ActiveLanguage in Self. LanguageSet then
          Self.ActiveLanguage&#58;= TPerson&#40;Sender&#41;.ActiveLanguage
        Else
          Rise Exception&#40;'unknown protocol'&#41;;
    
      With Sender as TPerson do
      Begin
        While ActiveChat do
          Self.Earbuffer.Add&#40;DataPending&#41;;
        Self.Invalidate;
       ....
      End;
    End;
    wait forgot what my point was.. :?
