Which language would be better to learn for a career computer science/programming, Chinese or Japanese?

I'm trying to decide what classes I am going to take in the fall. I'm a computer science major and I have decided that I am going to learn either Japanese or Chinese. I need to know which language would be more beneficial for me to learn in the long run.

For programming, I would say you should learn either Hindi (Indian) or Cyrillic (Russian) since that is where all the programming jobs are being offshored to.
Reply:Honest? Neither. Both China and Japan are always importing more English teachers to improve their citizen's English proficiency, and most employees who deal with others are already at least somewhat fluent in English. As a programmer, you'll find that both Japanese and Chinese technical vocabulary to be really lacking, or just transliterated English words. You may as well stick to English.





As a personal project, either would be a fine language to learn.

Reply:I would think that it would be Chinese. China is now or will soon become a major competitor in many fields such as ship building and airlines. One day it may have an OS that surpasses Windows in the number of users.





To benefit directly from with the language I think you would need to get a job that is doing business in to one of these countries. I think if you just want it on a resume either would be fine.
