Here in Brazil we usually code in Brazil's native language: Portuguese. 
Yes, there are some companies that mandate the use of English, albeit the 
additional costs of doing so, but that is very exceptional. The vast 
majority of brazilian software houses use Portuguese everywhere.

The only English words are the programming language keywords and library 
function calls, for obvious reasons. This scheme has the advantage that it 
differentiates code created in house from foreign code.

We pick words from the problem domain. So, if we are coding retail software 
for a chain store, we don't even think about using the word "INVOICE" ( are 
you kidding? ) Our clients don't say "invoice", they say "nota fiscal", so 
we code using the name notaFiscal.

That is not nationalism, it's a practical matter and, generally speaking, 
it works great.
