Fundamentally I think that the effort is flawed.
Fundamentally I think that the effort is flawed. Languages don't really map to each other on a word to word basis. At school in France they introduced algorithms with a form of french pseudo-C which was very frustrating, because it felt stilted and unnatural. Expressing the same algorithms in natural french would already be a much better exercise, because you don't have to force yourself through a fake translated language. Ultimately I think this would be a much better first approach to programming, (with more focus on design than implementation). In the end if you really have to implement code, you will have to learn the english version anyway if you want access to documentation and outside help.
