Any thoughts on localization? #24

Whats the best way to localize the demos?

I don’t know anything about localization.

I suppose I would go into the lexer.rkt and translate the English-language tokens to the new language. In the case of reserved-terms, the lexer could convert the reserved term in the new language to its English equivalent before emitting a token (which would contain the original English). Thus the lexer would act as a translation layer, in effect.

By keeping the localization in one file, it would be easier to create a system where you could support multiple localizations.

But I’m just guessing. Beyond that, it would be experimentation and refinement.
