my $0.02 on this:
We should encourage, or at least not discourage, non-Engish speakers
to use Euphoria, even though we may not benefit directly ourselves.
I believe it would be trivial to hack an editor to read an "english"
euphoria program to display localised equivalents (eg "integer" is
replaced with "ganzzahl" or "heltal" (if I guessed right).
/ANY/ syntax colouring editor should be able manage this trivially.
The actual source stored using the official RDS (english) keywords.
Cut and paste to clipboard/standard email is english; a Russian,
German or whatever version of EUforum, could equally make them appear
in the localised language (IDEA: maybe even cookie based??).
Even if not, cut and paste into said hacked editor will automatically
perform the expected translation of English keywords.
You could even then share code between the forums, apart from the much
harder problem of the comments not being in english (viz aku).
Plus you would only need the one, official, RDS ex[?].exe.
[I know, I know, I know... but you get the idea...]
In an ideal world, of course you have (many more than) an English,
Russian, and German forum, with at least one person speaking two
languages subscribed to two of them and forwarding translations of
questions, answers, and any other useful stuff.
So maybe we Englishers benefit after all.

Pete
