It is very weird. But in the old days you got German translated books.

I've read most of my programming books in English as most of the online resources were in English. Reading a German book about C++ with "Vorlagen". Didn't know what they were talking about unti I've used a dictionary and found out that "Vorlagen" are "templates". Was pretty funny that it was easier for me to read programming books in English than in my mother tongue.
