No offense, but you seem to get my points wrong:

Yes, here all the words are in German. My point was the most Japanese
developers know enough english to name methods in english. It is fine to
write source in German, but doing so does not address the issue of
international documenation. It is a choice.

That is exactly what I said - Japanese people seem to have difficulties
forming english sentences. This is why source in Ruby comes in handy,
because it is not ambigous the same way, and you can still name methods in
english. Indeed a lot of japanese Ruby source is written in english with
japanese documentation.

Yes in german sentences are formed rather different from english sentences.
But in Ruby you have a choice without getting into ambiguities:

if x < y then puts "hello" end
puts "hello" if x < y

But even if the language is german or french, it still better than nothing.
It's crucial that the Latin alphabet is being used, because it is understood
worldwide, whereas Cyrillic and Kanji is very difficult decipher outside
their target audience.

if time < my_bus.arrival - Time.new("0:10")
  self.random_walk(Time.new("0:05"))
end
shop.buy_ticket
if my_bus.location == station.location
  self.location = bus
else
  phone.dial("home")
  phone.message("delayed")
  phone.hangup
end if
end
