I used to strictly oppose non-english code as well. A colleague actually 
managed
to convince me that there are indeed reasons for "localized" 
identifiers:
in some projects the customers (usually with some industrial background) 
have pretty
specific wordings or use of the language. If developers now start 
introducing
their own wording (due to translating back and forth) you complicate the
communication and synchronization between business unit and development 
team.
In such special cases I now "accept" said code style. (Although I still 
don't
like it ;-))
