So if they don't understand the French version, they can get it in
German? It's really only going to help those who speak German.
Like I said in my original post, I'm not talking about human-language
dialects but programmer-oriented ones such as the C-like dialect that
was originally planned. A nice, simple, regular, unambiguous syntax
that puts back in all those geeky symbols and crap that may not look
terribly attractive to the casual eye but actually tell you an awful
lot about a program's structure.
Another advantage of a programmer-friendly syntax would have been
that it'd have helped to attract more professional programmers to
AppleScript - something it has always sorely lacked. (But this takes
us into another debate, and I've my dinner still to get so maybe
another time...;)
