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

The notion of programming languages that use non-word symbols reminds me that I want to try out Uiua. I guess it doesn't exactly fit the non-English category because the recommended way to enter symbols is to type names that are derived from English, which are replaced by symbols by the formatter. But I suppose it would be easier than most languages to internationalize since words are used in an entry method, not in the shared code.
