I'm wondering if it can be done on a wider scale -- say, Chinese, Korean, Swahili, etc., etc. -- as long as the terms are a one-for-one and it's cross-referenced somewhere, couldn't it be replicated out and become a universal language?

Thanks for sharing this post. The thing is, the chinese mindset is very different from the western mind. Even if the programming languages were to be translated into chinese, the question will then be if they can grasp the heavily logic-based sequence. They did a study on the eastern-western minds and found out that asians were better with holistic-abtract stuff, then with deconstructive,logical stuff. Interesting! Thanks for sharing this post.
