why? this should be understandable by everyone!

[PSchlesselmann]

Well, everyone should be able to understand english.

I feel like it would make more sense to have consistent (English) code comments than to lead discussions like this one in English...:P
But if you really feel uncomfortable about English comments leave them German for now I'd say...translating them isn't necessarily the most important thing at the moment.
But we should ensure that the content and style is somewhat consistent across units.

[PSchlesselmann]

Yeah, in case you are not familiar enough with this language: Just keep your comments in german.
We will translate them later.

The GUI doesn't even have comments...

In my opinion comments in english are not useful because it is for your school that will alway be german and why should we run danger that there are misconceptions because of the language.
Ok it looks professional but for example a software developer would never write instructions in english when he has an german customer.
We should guarentee that everyone understand our instructions and we could not if we write our comments in english. Also we should estimate the time users have to spend by look up words they don`t know.

And we also need to remember that right now we are mainly coding for Kraxeleddi ^^

[PSchlesselmann]

Well how about just asking him about his preference?
Then we can be sure and this discussion finally becomes unnecessary.

[PSchlesselmann]

I asked him: He prefers german.

So we should probably translate all of our commments to German then I guess...maybe it's not a must until Friday though if we have a good Documentation!
