Maybe you don't know it, but you're using a translater that someone else wrote for every single program that you write, whether translated at compile time or run time, unless you're punching in hex codes into ram. So what's your point. It only takes ONE person to write the language. Or to take the language compiler or runtime source code and change the keywords to keywords of their choice, and distribute the new compiler or runtime interpreter, in which case the extra translation stage is skipped, and there's no worry about clashes between the old and new keywords.
For the next generation, with every phone having Babelfish capabilities, it really won't matter. It doesn't have to be completely reliable. Even communication between 2 speakers of the same language isn't completely reliable. Just look at the misunderstanding of "draining the swamp", or "make America great again."
The EU is not a country. Inside each country, you most likely will use the language(s) of that country, not English. And in the future, with the ability of apps to translate spoken foreign languages into words you understand, who cares? Babelfish makes language chauvinism irrelevant. The next generation won't need a shared language to communicate.
Not when most of the population is of Latino descent and can speak both languages. It can happen, given enough time. Most of the population here speaks English, but the predominant language is French.
Go to Little Italy in a city near you. Or Chinatown. Or parts of New York. Or Amish country. Or, if you're lazy, just watch Bladerunner. Languages have this nasty habit of hanging around as a way to preserve culture among minority groups.
It's not like every question on stackoverflow is unique. There are plenty of sites in other languages with plenty of code snippets. The official french PHP documentation, also available in 9 other languages. You can find french versions for most programming languages, including c++ and java, just by searching $PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE_OF_CHOICE examplaires. Or you can substitute the word "examplaires" for the the translation of the term "example" in the written language of your choice.
atoi()? Whatever your little heart and your imagination desires. For example, overload entier() to take strings in a header, and then a simple text substitution of atoi() to entier(). Or if you like conciseness, ent. 25% fewer letters than atoi.
On the world scale, the francophonie has more than 50 full members (84 if you include observers), even excluding the Central African Republic and Thailand (human rights violations).
Those countries comprise a billion people. Those "parts of the world they once occupied" are hardly insignificant.
Given the number of EU citizens who speak 2 or more languages, and that after Brexit less than 1% will have English as their mother tongue, it's the EU citizenry who will be shaking their heads at the UKs insistence on making themselves less relevant.
They use English because that's what's mandated by IATA. However, at local airports, they can use the local language. And Quebec has an exemption to use French as the principle language, though ATC also speak English (same as a large percentage of the population, both English and French, are bilingual. Drives the rest of the country nuts).
If he were doing this to address Frexit, he wouldn't have spoken in English. His real target was the UK, which seems to think that they will get a better deal outside the EU than they have inside.
If you read the article, he spoke in English because he wanted the English to understand him, and it's not like the majority of the UK speak ANY second language.
How do you expect to have an effective negotiating team when the people on the opposite side of the table can understand everything you say, but also have private conversations right in front of your face because you don't know any second language? Make fun of you with a straight face? Say that the only difference between you and a bucket of shit is the bucket? Debate strategy in private without leaving the room or whispering amongst themselves? Call you a dumb f*ck to your face?
The keywords are irrelevant. It's simple enough to write a keyword translator. I wrote one that translated BASIC from a custom set of french keywords to English way back in the mid-80s for a friend. If you can't write a translator, or even just a series of macros or a regex or a perl script to do the job, you need to realize TIMTOWTDI.
The article says he will deliver the speech in English because it's important that the UK understands. It's not like most Brits can understand more than one language, not even Cockney.
Except in the US, where it will be Spanish. Latinos will be bilingual, but most of the rest of the population will be English-only. Makes it easy to have a private conversation in front of unilingual English speakers.
Have you checked out the lousy pay for TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language)? In many cases. it's room and board, and pocket money. People do it when they want to get a "free" experience of living in another country.
Once the UK leaves, English will be the mother tongue of less than 1% of the EU. It's the Brexiters who are doing the bashing to their own language by reducing its relevancy.
English is not the #1 language in the EU, even before Brexit"
In accordance with the EU population, the most widely spoken mother
tongue is German (16%), followed by Italian and English (13% each), French
(12%), then Spanish and Polish (8% each).
After Brexit, it will be worse. It's true that English is used as a second language by a significant portion of the population, but the same can be said for many other languages, given that much of the population speaks 2 or more languages. Interestingly, the UK is among the lowest ranking countries when it comes to being able to speak in a second language.
Current EU population is 504 million. The UK is 64 million, of which 88% (56 million) speak English as their mother tongue. After taking out those 56 million, the number of people who speak English as their mother tongue in the EU drops to only a few million out of the remaining 404 million population. In other words, less than 1%.
(3) “Launch” means to move or attempt to move people or property from Earth to space. For
purposes of this regulation, "launch" also includes the movement or attempted movement of people or
property from space to Earth.
(3)The Franchise Tax Board may provide that any regulation may take effect or apply retroactively to prevent abuse.
(4)The Franchise Tax Board may provide that any regulation may apply retroactively to correct a procedural defect in the issuance of any prior regulation.
And guess who get to define the terms "abuse" and "procedural defect"?
So too high a tax on pollutants, the first stage shifts to LOX and H2 (exhaust is basically water vapor). And once above 60,000 feet, the state has no jurisdiction anyway.
And California continually has to deal with a lack of water. What happens when Lake Mead drops another 20 feet? It's already down 130 feet since 2000, and hasn't been at capacity since 1983. Gotta stop growing those almonds.
California's population growth is slower than the rest of the country, and as more baby boomers retire and move to lower-cost states (or Mexico or Canada) the rate of increase will decline even further. Toss out the illegals and it turns negative.

It's far less than 100%. I've posted links elsewhere to the actual numbers of people who understand 2 or more languages.
