Maybe it would help if the keywords of the programming languages were
localized. Dutch kids could then create a module in Dutch (e.g. in the
programming language 'Slang') which a lexer/interpreter/compiler could
translate into 'Python'. German kids might then re-use that
Python-module by having it translated into their own localized
Python-version 'Schlange'.
I think it would also be far easier for a teacher to explain the
programming concepts without English getting in their way.
