I mean a 1 to 1 correspondence but not word for word. It can be a camelCase phrase (as long as it needs to be to make sense) for word. Of course, it would still be "unnatural" language approach! But, it might be better than "English or nothing" option. Some languages are going to lend themselves better than others, but imagine if we have this option in Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi. If even a small fraction of non-English speakers from those milieus are tempted to give LiveCode a try, it would be worth it. Remember, at any time they can click a button and the entire script appears in English. Since no one (no programmer, that is) is completely English-ignorant, switching back and forth will facilitate learning and using the language and eventually switching to English script.
