    In this case they were still using English, with minor differences. Imagine one of the Indian externals writing an internal script that utilizes the Indian localisation. You'd have to whip out a translator or dive into the docs for a tool which you may have already used countless times and know how it works when instead, they could have simply learned the English arguments for the tool.

    Nothing against people not being native speakers of English, I'm not one either. I just think that this creates more problems than it solves.

    This looks like the final layer of hell. Your coworker writes their scripts in another language and now you have to decipher what the hell they mean. Who has a problem woth English for development tools, etc.? It's really not a monumental task to learn it, and I'm not even a native speaker.

    Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.

    Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.

    Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.
