Heh one of us should hack up DMD to produce a NihonD, using (or at
least allowing) kanji instead of the kanas wherever appropriate :)
That'd be both fun to make and to use.

On another note, I've always dreamt about a language where keywords are
i18n'd. Every keyword has an equivalent in every language (well, up to
the languages currently supported, of course), and can be used
interchangeably.
Support for Arabic and Hebrew would be tricky because of the
right-to-left thing, but cool if it can be pulled off. Even cooler would
be to support top-to-bottom, right-to-left for traditional Chinese
writing. Don't know how it would interoperate with code written in
English, though. :-P (Though it would mainly be a display issue, since
at the Unicode level everything is just an unambiguous sequence of
characters.)

Ugh. VBA does that. It's just horrid. I used to write the VBA code on my
laptop, in English. But I could only test it on a German PC. If I found
a small bug, I'd fix it on the test system. Problem is, when you look at
the code, the keywords and built-in functions have all changed.
Trying to guess which German word the keyword changes to is a nightmare,
especially when there are abbreviations. Eg, AVG() <--> MITTELWERT().
