Fully aggreed but as far as I know, Turkish companies use English in 
source code.

Turkish alphabet is Latin based where dotted and undotted versions of 
Latin letters are distinct and  produce different meanings. Quick examples:

sık: dense (n), squeeze (v), ...
sik: penis (n), f*ck (v) [1]
şık: one of multiple choices (1), swanky (2)
döndür: return
dondur: make frozen
sök: disassemble, dismantle, ...
sok: insert, install, ...
şok: shock

Hence, non-Unicode is unacceptable in Turkish code unless we reserve 
programming to English speakers only, which is unacceptable because it 
would be exclusionary and would produce English identifiers that are 
frequently amusing. I've seen the latter in code of English learners. :)
