I'll just leave this here, "An Introduction to German for ABAP/4 Programmer" (SAP):

Oh? You want composit(ion)? Over inheritance maybe?

Why is main capitalized but not printf???

If they are trying to follow German rules where nouns are capitalized, I guess this explains why their version of int would be capitalized, but that’s super annoying. Maybe C# is based on this.

And then why is Ganz in caps. I call cap on German C.
