How can non-English speakers code?
Almost all coding languages use English, e.g. <head> | <body> in HTML, public string myString in C#, etc. Are these languages simply adapted for the other languages, or is there another thing they do to work around this?

The keywords in a computer languages are always the same no matter what language the programmer speaks. So, for example, in you C# example, someone who speaks German would still write "string" to declare a string variable, but the variable name could be written in German. It may be a little harder for a non-English speaker, but if you use the language every day you would learn what the commands mean even if you don't know the words. Besides, some commands can be a little cryptic no matter what language you speak. If you had never seen HTML before you may not know that <br \> means a line break, you would have to learn that.
