If you're from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

Well, there are programming languages that are not based on English (like BQN) In reality though the vast majority of the documentation, books, online discussions etc. are in English so I'd say it is at least hugely beneficial to know English.
