What probably makes sense in the long run is for objects to have two names: internal name (aka current english name) and a display name (translated). I think that’s how Scratch <https://scratch.mit.edu> does it, as all of their building blocks are translated in other languages too. We sat down with one of my German nephews and showed him scratch. The UI was in German *and* the objects were all in German too, which worked really nicely.

Yes, I'm curious how much of a pain point it is for users like him. I can think of two general categories: 1) people who don't speak English whose main language has an alphabet that's a superset of the English alphabet 2) people who don't speak English and read a separate alphabet than the English one

So if anyone else has user stories that fit one of those categories, I'd like to hear about them.
