Anyone who has developed in dBase or it's derivatives understands what it means to speak English, and *STILL* have to learn a completely different development language!

BTW Google Translate has it "legte x in y -Taste". Dutch, argueably close to German has it "zet x -knop in y".

Still think this is a good idea??

I would not go further then that, just replacing word by word. But I wonder
how that would sound in German for example: "put x into button y" -  "Lege
x in Knopf y"? Too funny. There is no equivalent even for a simple word
such as "put" or "button" which would give exactly the same idea. The
problem is that the whole construct would have to be different. Let the
young people learn a few English words! The profit for them will be much
greater. There is no way back living with all those English terms
everywhere anyway. Computer programming language - besides underlying Bits
and Bytes -  should be understood by everyone. And that was the aim even
when Assembler started. The user interface can always be in the native
language. That is enough. And sometimes difficult enough. Or...?) Roland
