How do programmers in other countries learn to program using their own language? I get the pushback that “API documentation” is all in English.
This is due to the #EnglishBubble Indians live in.
API documentation is available in all major languages.
Visual C++ in Chinese:

It’s available in tens of languages but #IndianLanguages are de-prioritized.
MNCs adapt. They localize to each country.
They don’t localize to India because Indians in the English-speaking bubble tell them there is no need.

You don't need to know English grammar or vocabulary or worry about how to speak it to code.
And this is not "English." Someone who knows English won't be able to get it. Programming languages uses a few keywords in Roman script, one can learn those.

Don't talk out of your hat. I used to work at Microsoft.
Microsoft documentation isn't done by "local contributors" or volunteers. Microsoft decides and pays for it.
And China mandates Chinese. Even France mandates French documentation. India?
