Do you look at Japanese D code much? Or Turkish? Or Chinese?

I know there are decently sized D communities in those languages, 
and I am pretty sure I have seen identifiers in their languages 
before, but I can't find it right now.

Just there's a pretty clear potential for observation bias here. 
Even our search engine queries are going to be biased toward 
English-language results, so there can be a whole D world kinda 
invisible to you and I.

We should reach out and get solid stats before making a final 
decision.

Well, for example, with a Chinese company, they may very well 
find forced English identifiers to be an annoyance.
