You mean that one does not need to be able to read the requirements, if they are in English? 
I DO hope that the specs are in English

Usually Developer's reading skills gets improved significantly (because continuously reading the requirements, finding code snippet/article over google/codeproject)  Problem usually lies in speaking. A part from that reading is just one skill to name in Soft Skills
Do
Read();
Research();
Experiment();

That is hardly reading, it is translating. And reading the spec (and pointing out any errors) is a rather important skill.

I would first test a candidate's writing skills in the local language. In my experience, a person who cannot organize his/her thoughts well enough to write them down in their own language is incapable of doing so in a computer language.
As most technical documentation is available only in English, I think that a working knowledge of Technical English is very important. In an international project, speaking and writing Business and/or Technical English are also essential.
Having said that, I would not disqualify a candidate because he speaks the local dialect of English rather than the Queen's English or American. However, if the position requires writing documentation for international clients - either the Queen's English or American is required. A candidate that cannot write either of these would be disqualified.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I sometimes get the impression that prospective developers seem to think "how to" is the only English they need *sigh*
|

If the candidate isn't applying for a job that requires him to come up with strings that get displayed to an end user, then as long as he can communicate effectively with other team members, I wouldn't automatically disqualify an otherwise good coder.
That said, if I may rant for a second, I'm French-Canadian, and I despise non-English versions of any operating system or software. It's all a big waste of resources IMO.

Wow, and this clown wants to be president. Very scary

He'll still be better than Obama.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Got my vote! Especially since Carly probably won't get to play this time around.

Scarier than the incumbent clown?!

He wouldn't be the first idiot president.

Nothing to read.
It is a video.
So there is no ideological add-on.
On top of that, it is fun to watch.
And it has got bacon in it!

Is IE gone in windows 10?
Is Edge the best browser ...(can't keep straight face)... you've ever used? 
Why no mentions of Edge? Is it not in there?
What up, Win10 Users?

Seems there was some post about Edge last week

OH, I missed it. I searched the forum before posting, but CP Forum search does not work very well.
Ah, such is the programming life.
