The likelihood is high most people interested in using the QB64 IDE expected it to be in English so it doesn't bother them. Otherwise they use NPPP or some other program that could be customized for language. It's unfair that Asians most of all have to learn European languages so more products are open to them.
I'd like to know the opinion of somebody else whose first language isn't English, if it looks strange to do a "PRINT" statement with a quotation not in English. Or if it looks strange looking at source code with mixed language. To me, it was strange looking at many contributions of the German programmers from the Purebasic Archive Vault. At the same time it was funny sometimes and entertaining, although I couldn't understand everything they said. On the other hand, the French programmers of the same were somewhat reserved. I don't know, I looked at more code from the Germans...
How about if it bothers somebody that could read right-to-left writing? More than likely he/she isn't going to be even interested in the QB64 IDE. It's not even going to be done with Cyrillic characters because there are a lot of pratfalls involved about the subtleties of Russian and other languages of the same family and a couple such as Mongolian which happen to use that alphabet.
If there is a great increase in the users not from U.S.A., not from Western Europe using QB64PE then there would be a need to do something to the QB64PE IDE, likely an overhaul. But now it's a low priority. As it stands, it's still slow, like the pre-version 1. Mostly I load it to format source code to get capitalized keywords (I really dislike the Freebasic-like manner I keep seeing on this forum).
BTW I could make a few translations en Español, but English is my first language. :tu:
