Equivalent to Portugol in other languages
In Brazil, people can study the logic of programming with a program called Visualg, that uses commands in Portuguese to write programs. An "if" structure becomes a "se" structure and commands like 'write("Hello World");' become 'escrever("Olá mundo");)'. The idea behind it is to make the logic easier to those who never studied or understood English. Is there anything similar in your language? Have you ever used it? How useful was it to you?

Daniel Rosa is Brazilian Portuguese much different from Portuguese from Portugal? Will your computer language be understandable by someone in Portugal?

My thoughts exactly, Sanja Panic. On the one hand, it helps people who don't know the language get the logic. On the other, since most the languages are in English, wouldn't it simply be delaying the inevitable?

Sadly we have nothing like this in Asia yet, except for China. 😔

On serbian i don't think so :D but it will funny to try it, but i think this will be bad idea because you will not be able to work in team with people around the world. Maybe just good idea to show programming to kids, first time when i saw programming was in primary school and i didn't undertend anything because of english, it was html and visual basic 😂

Sonic, grammar is 98% the same. We have very little changes between the two. Vocabulary, however, changes somewhat. Still, I believe anyone in Portugal (or any other Portuguese speaking country, I suppose) would be able to use the software without any trouble.
