My personal opinion is that code should only be in English.
But why would you want to impose this restriction on others?

I wouldn't say impose. I'd say that programming in a unified
language (D) should not be sabotaged by comments and variable
names in various human languages (Swedish, Russian), but be
accompanied by a similarly 'unified' language that we all know
- English. It is only my opinion though and I wouldn't force it
upon anyone.
But programming IS a human tool, and thus, subject to human
language.
Also, I don't see how a programming language is any more unified
than, say, a library.
While you wouldn't force it on anyone, would it also be your
opinion that putting a French book in a french library be a
sabotage of the world's librarial institutions?
