Before Linux and GNU got internationalization, I worked on a French product cleverly named Ligne-X (Line X) to translate all of the display text (error messages, etc). Ironically, I don't speak French. But I didn't need to, since another team did that part.

That was an exasperating workload. So kudos to you on this. It looks like you put a lot into it.

Some people are going on about English being mandatory for programming. It isn't necessary for non-English speaking people learning programming to learn both English and Programming at the same time, so I disagree with that. Professionally, sure. But this is a learning language, and it looks nice and clean.

And there are a lot of people who code for fun, just for themselves, too. They don't need to learn English just to accomplish that.

I wonder how many people realize some Lisp implementations are localized to similar effect. Set the language, and then the keywords change to something more appropriate for those languages.
