I don't really see the point of adapting the programming language to the learner, which seems to be the smallest language hurdle, when they'll have to ask for help in english on forums, in IRC, or on SO, anyways.

Think third world. The kids in my village have a single computer without Internet. Sure they will need to learn English since almost the entire literature is in English, but they may yet taste the joy of programming first. It makes little sense for them to think in one language and write in another. But, I do see your point.

There are local programming forums in most countries.
