www.struts.ru Cool - there's a new site for all the Struts documentation in Russian. I actually got a degree in Russian, and I dig Struts, so of course - this interests me. Beautiful country, awesome culture and a very rich history. Too bad I gave up Russian after graduating to learn all this computer stuff instead. Now I can barely understand a full sentence - and I was pretty close to fluent my senior year. One question I have for non-English programmers - do you write Java/JavaScript/CSS/HTML in your native language or in English? I've always wondered...

I thought java was the same for every language :). I live in Belgium and although this is a very small country (most Americans don't even know it exists) we have a part speeking Dutch (like I do), a part speeking French and a little part speeking German. Brussels is the bilingual capital of Belgium, both French and Dutch are official languages here. While not everybody speaks these both languages fluent, almost every person involved in IT knows English (hey , almost all books are written in English). This is one of the reasons that me and a lot of my colleagues write comments/doc in java classes in English.

Most people use english in comments/docs/variable names.
