I did. Not for programming itself because you only need to know basic keywords to write functional code, but because of all the documentation and guides surrounding it. There was information in my native language available but it simply wasnโt as good. And even if there was, most discussions about the related topics were in English.

APL was evidently written by an alien.
Not an answer to OP's question, but I know in PHP there's at least one error message that's in Hebrew.

Do don't have to first learn english. You could learn the basic without it but don't except to be a good programmer if you are not confortable reading technical document in english.
I know it's not exactly the question, but C/C++ allow you to override any keyword with #define, so if you wanted, you can turn it into another language. I don't suggest doing that, but hey, you can.
Also somewhat related, but some languages like C# allow you to use Unicode in variable names.
While many languages read left-to-right and have other artifacts of English words order, you do not need to learn English first. Knowing English makes it easier, but learning English first would make it harder.
