Ah the horror. Last week it was bleating that German laws are written in German, this week it's bleating that German bank documentation is written in German.

The software I use at work is developed by a German-speaking team based on German documentation. I think the code is mostly English although they often use German identifiers when there is no straightforward translation[0]. It's highly specific to the German legal environment and of absolutely no use abroad anyway. Translating everything twice just introduces more errors.
And even in huge codebases such as SAP, most comments are still German.
Yes, modern codebases are often written in english, but that’s not everywhere.
Swiss Federal Government provides english translation of documents. https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19920153/...
It's not legally binding, but for education and information purposes works great.
