There are several examples that are written in none-English. I.e. even though the programming language keywords might be in English, the variables and comments are not. An example would be [[Main_step_of_GOST_28147-89#JavaScript|this]] and [[Main_step_of_GOST_28147-89#Glagol|this]]. Currently there are not many such examples so I would like to start a discussion about whether 'we' collectively, want to expand into this area of multi-language support on RC. <br>(Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere - if it has then point out where and I will amend this). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 23:07, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 
: Agree, would look ridiculous, for example, the following code:
<lang>КОЛЬЦО
ЕСЛИ condition ТО
action()
ИНАЧЕ
exit(); ВЫХОД
КОН
КОН</lang>
: Another thing, [[Main_step_of_GOST_28147-89#JavaScript|sample code]] of a language with English keywords I put finished piece, written by me long before that; it can be corrected for clarity. As for the use of non-English words in the code on the English site, I suppose, in some rare cases, it is appropriate. I think any little bit educated person in any country knows Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets and easily read the sections of code that use them. [[User:Русский|Русский]] 05:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
