Indeed, I don't think this situation is all that different from Medicine or Biology. Parts of anatomy, diseases, and taxonomic classifications will forever be known by their Latin names. Likewise, programmers will probably still be referring to "if" statements and "for" loops long after no English speakers remain.

Or, in reverse; I knew what those words did in BASIC before I knew what they meant in English (which isn't my native language).
