If you have a problem with that function and you use Scheme, you know that it is mapped to call-with-current-continuation and you know where to look for information. And if you're monolingual, chances are that you won't be able to make sense of what you find in English.
And of course, when 2 Turkish programmers talk about programming they shift to English... No, they don't. Keywords are arbitrary strings. Try APL and see how "English" applies.
And that is a good thing.
Proprietary software has so many issues that most pro-grade software is not even localized.
If FOSS activists took as much time fixing manuals as they take for fixing code that would not be an issue. l10n is not as good as code *because* it is not defined with a higher priority and a better consciousness of the linguistic issues, and that is because monolingual activists think one language is sufficient (funny how that does not apply to programming languages, but they don't seem to be conscious of that contradiction...)
