Nice work! I could certainly see how it could lower the barrier to entry for non-English speakers when trying to learn programming. My brother-in-law, for example, has been having a hard time with English but could probably pick up Javascript faster if he could use something like this.
Something else that would be useful for him would be a simplified translation dict that only contained jquery functions. Something like http://www.jsrosettastone.com/ http://www.jsrosettastone.com/ but for other spoken languages.
Use case would be quick reference: he sees node.append(...) somewhere but doesn't know what append means so quickly looks it up.
Edit: it's easy to find ways in which something won't work. In the spirit of the recent discussions regarding being positive on HN, let's look for ways things like this can be beneficial.
