If you’re from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

You don’t necessarily have to learn English well, but yes, everyone programs in English. Some people put variable and function names to be another language, but generally English kind of “won” as the universal language and trying to deviate from it is almost impossible.

You may find Qalb interesting. It’s an Arabic programming language made for research on the cultural biases of modern computer science.
