I coded in a Brazilian Portuguese version of Logo at school. I remember there was also a Portuguese Portuguese version of the same toolkit. Both were called Megalogo.

On a related note, "idiom" in English does not mean the same as "idioma" in Portuguese ;-)

The same for Hindi. For some reason Google decides to translate the same word differently when I go through an API and when I do it in browser.

I meant idiom-agnostic as format-agnostic, collective, universal: like math, music, etc...

Music is not universal (different scales are in use), and maths uses Roman & Greek lettering with the Arabic number system.
