Hmmm... but at that rate, shouldn't even the keywords be localized then?

begin
    for aKey, aValue in pairs( aTable ) do
        print( aKey, aValue )
    end
end

vs.

debut
    pour uneClé, uneValue dans paires( uneTable ) faire
        imprimer( uneClé, uneValue )
    fin
fin

Or something. This could get tiring :D

If I'm not mistaken, AppleScript used to offer localized dialects.
