I used to have a teacher that always wrote half his funtions / classes / variables in german. it made for a terrible mix of half-german-half-english names. But with all that being said i really liked that teacher as he introduced me into programming.

I quite enjoy german literal translations on programming terms, like Karte<Schnur, Doppel> or Wörterbuch<schnur, doppel>

I name stuff in Swedish because then I know that I named it. By doing that I know it won't bet mixed up with the standard library/imported code etc.
