a). documentation, integration, testing of code
b). universal readability, universal runtimes, object oriented structures that are probably only understandable with documentation anyway, i do not accept the premise of this question since everything is written in english and does not alternate language documentation (even though all programmers know english anyway)

1). The programmer is responsible for the general stability of the software and liable for any bugs or loss in the program. The programmer must also be able to produce hot fixes and patches in the event that the program fails to run or malfunctions. The programmer is also responsible for success in altering the code and creating the companies vision.

2). Both the ability to convert code to other languages and the ability to transfer and download programs in minutes allow programs to be shared and sold with little to no problem. Modern languages also support translations allowing one code to be understood through many dialects.

A.
The programmer has the responsibility of making sure that the program remains completely functional once they have updated the program. The programmer also has the responsibility of making sure that once the code is updated, it performs the function that it was specifically updated for. Those are two of the main responsibilities that he programmer has.

B.
The features of modern programming languages that allow this product to be sold in other countries is that there can be no ambiguity in coding languages, meaning that each command has to be very specified and precise, or else the computer will not be able to comprehend the code. Because of this, it makes code easy to translate because all of the writing is very formal and precise, with little to no ambiguity.

12a) They must, make it easy to understand for other buyers, make it into the same program language that the buyer uses, and not copy and paste the program and just sell it.(Copyright infringement)
12b) Pep/8 Assembly Language, Instruction format, pseudocode, etc.

a. The programmer has to update the program so that it can accommodate for different types of hotels. they also must keep the basic algorithm so that it actually does its job. They also have a responsibility to get rid of any bugs or issues that appeared in the previous code.
b. programming languages are almost a universal language. Anyone can learn how to program since the basics of code are essentially the same. It also has strong ties to math, so it is easy to understand if you have taken a basic algebra class.

a) He/she is responsible for ensuring that the code remains bug-free and secure. This includes things like names and the locations of people, so making sure the information remains private will be important. Furthermore, he/she could extend the functionality to be able to deal with single parties.

b) Because the code is modular and easy to edit on the fly, changing the target language is quick and easy, and adapting to the needed circumstance can be done quickly. Furthermore, releasing this as SAAS or a java applet would allow this program to be accessed from anywhere in the world.

1)The programmer should fully document the changes any possible errors that may come up because of the update, so that he/she is prepared for any potential problems that he/she may need to fix. (Or, if time allows, engineer solutions to potential problems into the code)
2)Programming languages are language-transcendent, that is they can be written in one language (i.e. English) and be read in another (i.e. French). (Most programmers will likely learn english as an ease-of-use thing though.)

a) keeping the information when data is transferred to other hotels, can function in different types of hotels when applied
b) universal (common language), it is relatively easy to learn a second programming language if you know one, English is common for programming languages

a)
The programmer likely add functions that show different tour activities and catalog people on them. It would also have to function with the existing program
b)
OOP allows more stuff to be added easier and programs can updated via the web.
