Programming is really just translating algorithms and thoughts into code. Different languages are different, yeah. But it's still the same idea.

It's like when you think up a thought. Then you think it in your native tongue. You are so used to your language, that it really seems like one step. Then if you need to put it into another language, you translate it just the same.

Without a language you feel really strong in (to the point where it's nothing to think in it), you may want to use pictures to illustrate a point (think of society before language, we used pictures).

That's what I do when I'm coding. I don't feel particularly strong in a certain programming language, so I generally draw diagrams and flow charts. Plan things out. Etc.
