I'm a consultant in Quebec and I've seen too many companies document code in French. Sometimes variable and function names are in a mix of French and English. The worse is when your errors and exceptions are in French: you get very confused international clients. English reading and writing skills are a MUST for programmers and I envy your working in what sounds like a much nicer code base.
Absolutely! Codebases in "franglais" are terrible. Also, when documenting such codebases, I cringe whenever I see public APIs with mixed language members.
Germany has the same problem. Many haven't even learned to read english since everything else in germany is dubbed. Very frustrating. Here in sweden most things are written in english though so no problem. No one even thinks twice before writing comments in code. English is the standard.
