Regardless to what country I was born in and what country I am a citizen of (by the way there are many full citizens who don't speak the language of the country particularly well, there is no such a thing as non-full citizenship, you either are a citizen or you are not) I have never wanted to study in its language (let alone use localized versions of coding-related software which I perceive as utter bullshit), wherever English is available I always choose to study and to interact with a computer in English. I'd never hire an AI/IT engineer who is not good at reading/writing/speaking on the subject in English and I doubt I'm alone in this. Arguably being able to efficiently communicate on the subject in English is even more important than the knowledge of the subject itself as nobody can know everything and be a good developer without being able to google things quickly. |

I mean, there's no other language appropriate for working with modern computers (Russian is probably the closest second)[0], but the level of English computer programs require of you, especially cushioned ones like they're exposing to people in this case, tends to be less than native understanding of the language.
[0]: English has a huge advantage because typesetting, typewriting, liberalism, and empire had already greatly simplified the writing system by the time computers were standardizing. It was, from the start of electronic computing, basically trivial to typeset English with simple character series, in a readable form. Anglo typewriting and typesetting conventions were already such that monospaced typewritten ASCII makes decent documents on its own.
