Answer 1

I'd say it entirely depends on who's working on the codebase.

If you have a small group of developers who all share a common language and you don't ever plan needing anyone who doesn't speak the language to work on the code then go ahead and use whatever characters you want.

If you need to have people of varying cultures and languages working on the code then it's probably best to stick with English since it's the common denominator for just about everyone in the world.
