My two kpeks worth on the bilingal Euphoria.
While I do not speak Russian I do speak Serbian, a member of Slavic group of languages.
I would like to suggest to Kinz to think of the loop statement not as a Cycl instruction but rather as instruction to commence a петля ( petlya) structure.
Thanks for two kpeks! Crisis... 
Yes, I can do it, for example:
-- English code loop do a = a * 2 x = x - 1 until x<=0 -- Russian code do_pory cykl -- "do_pory" means "to needed moment" a = a * 2 x = x - 1 pora x<=0 -- "pora" means "needed moment"
You see, in Russian version, there is nothing to do with loop (petlya), but Russian version is good, clear and a bit funny. Russian coder will smile here.
The literal translation:
petlya delay -- loop do a = a * 2 x = x - 1 pokuda x<=0 -- until
It is absolutelly wrong, ugly and laughable/ridiculous.
