Localization of code language is a horrible idea, no matter how nice the intention sounds.

English is as sort of like an international ISO standard to write code in - most people can read it, comment on it, audit it, etc. If people feel, they can write comments in their native language.

The entire reason why we have had such a great open source collaboration on global scale is because everyone is speaking the same code language.
