AppleScript, for all its faults, handled localization quite impressively. It parsed the whole script into an abstract representation, and could then could display it in another language as needed.

But none of those languages was a sane programming language.

The vocabulary doesn't matter when the grammar is an incomprehensible pidgin.

Apple script is the quintessential Jobsian "form, not function"
