Russian native speaker here. I too never think of keywords as words in english language.

As for function/variable/type/etc names and comments -- in Russia english is the standard. Russian is rarely used in comments, and using russian in code is frowned upon, so it (almost) never happens.

> But I'm wondering how it's interpreted from the point of view of a native speaker.

In Russia, we have company called 1C. One of the software products of this company is "1C: Enterprise". This product has some built-in language(for automatizing common accountant tasks or something like that). And keywords in this language are russian words.

I've never programmed in this language. And code in it looks really horrible to me, to the point of being repulsive. Here is hello world program, in case anyone is interested:

We have a similar language here in Portugal (I believe it's a copy of Delphi) and I also find it extremely unpleasant to even read it.
