A collection of code editing tools with support for non-English languages.
Most widely-used programming languages are English-based, making the learning process difficult for many non-English speakers intending to use these languages in their studies and/or careers. lang++ addresses this issue using the translation functionality shown above.
- Expand language-programming language translation database
- As of now, lang++ supports 4 lang-prog lang combinations (Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese to C++, Chinese to Java, and Chinese to Swift)
- Incorporate machine learning / natural language processing
- Improve translation accuracy
- Consider context when suggesting autocompletions
- Better account for evolution/change of programming languages over time
- Potential to be expanded into plugins, extensions, etc.
- Will better serve people looking for occasional language help
- Could function similar to dictionary
