- 2Less common languages often have books/tutorials written in their author's native language. For example, for a long time most Ruby stuff was Japanese before it became popular.daniel gratzer– daniel gratzer2013-06-26 11:22:04 +00:00Commented Jun 26, 2013 at 11:22

- 1I have worked with Chinese and Russian developers and they worked in English, so I would say that while it is always beneficial to increase your skills, the effort of learning a difficult language (by which I mean it does not use the Western alphabet) is probably negligible.Heatwave– Heatwave2013-06-26 22:34:58 +00:00Commented Jun 26, 2013 at 22:34

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
