Those are very few, and at that, there are many, many, many more that exist in
Euphoria itself. Euphoria itself is not localized.

That is what locale.e's po_load() and w() functions are for. It allows the
programmer to localize their own application.

I'm not aware of any programming language that translates function names to new
languages. In that area, it's still an English speaking world and it is a
non-issue.

Yes. Euphoria has that now with .po files. .po is a very popular format for
localization. There are many GUI based translation software packages to work with
the .po file, or you can use a normal text editor for that task.

Yup. That's not a problem with the new locale.e. Did you look at any of my
examples?
