Localization of programming languages is a bad idea.
If you have to learn a new language, switch context, never start
translating.
You don't want to write in fortran-python either.

On a side note: I admire how (in the US) they know how to make it
sort of
fun for the kids to learn programming (through games, game-
programming or
things like LEGO Mindstorms/Robotics). I always felt that Dutch
schools
lacked this kind of approach to teaching.

Maybe it would help if the keywords of the programming languages were
localized. Dutch kids could then create a module in Dutch (e.g. in the
programming language 'Slang') which a lexer/interpreter/compiler could
translate into 'Python'. German kids might then re-use that
Python-module by having it translated into their own localized
Python-version 'Schlange'.
I think it would also be far easier for a teacher to explain the
programming concepts without English getting in their way.
