What are some useful, non-programming languages to know when one wants to work in science or engineering in general?

Apart from English, I assumed German, French and Japanese would be nice, but I'm not sure.

Spanish would be the best option because... HA HA who am I kidding beaners have no place in science.

German is cool. But I wouldn't trust a language that uses the same word for tax as for control.
Or debt and guilt.

Instead of trolling, would you mind providing an explanation?

Why? You posted the text, it's your job to defend its validity.

What he said is just a fact - but if you want to argue that "# of journal articles" is a poor metric, that's fine.
