English will always be a barrier to non-speakers when it comes to computing. This is great.
On a side note: is there any idiom-agnostic programming language? I only know that APL is.
- elros 11y agoI coded in a Brazilian Portuguese version of Logo at school. I remember there was also a Portuguese Portuguese version of the same toolkit. Both were called Megalogo. On a related note, "idiom" in English does not mean the same as "idioma" in Portuguese ;-)
- theSage 11y agoThe same for Hindi. For some reason Google decides to translate the same word differently when I go through an API and when I do it in browser.
- emersonrsantos 11y agoI meant idiom-agnostic as format-agnostic, collective, universal: like math, music, etc...
- pjc50 11y agoMusic is not universal (different scales are in use), and maths uses Roman & Greek lettering with the Arabic number system.
