Python syntax, translated to any language

Multilingual python

Attempt to make the scratch-python transition more accessible to kids. It takes a dictionary with keyword translations, applies it to a modified python Grammar file and generates a new Grammar file that accepts the translated keywords as valid

Usage

To translate a grammar file:

• Make sure the language you want is in the languages folder
• run python translate.py [language]
• Copy the generated grammar_[language] file to the Grammar folder in your python source folder, overwriting the Grammar file
• Compile python as usual
• The compiled python binary should accept the translated keywords

To contribute with a new translation:

• Modify the template.py file and add your translations in the empty strings
• Change the dict name for the language, and the file for [language].py (ASCII only)
• Add that file to the languages folder and make a pull request

Known issues

• The translated and keyword behaves like an or instruction.

Catches

• This only translates python expressions, not the functions in the standard library
