Localized (Visual) Programming Language For Kids?

[sl4shd0t]

First time accepted submitter jimshatt writes "I want my kids to play around with programming languages. To teach them basic concepts like loops and subroutines and the likes. My 8-year-old daughter in particular. I've tried Scratch and some other visual languages, but I think she might be turned off by the English language. Having to learn English as well as a programming language at the same time might be just a little too much. I'd really like to have a programming language that is easy to learn, and localized or localizable. Preferably cross-platform, or browser-based, so she can show her work at school (Windows) as well as work on in at home (Debian Linux). By the way, she speaks Dutch and Danish, so preferably one of those languages (but if it's localizable I can translate it myself). Any suggestions?" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Localized+(Visual)+Programming+Languag e+For+Kids%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F15twpDR) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fask.slashdot.org%2Fstory %2F13%2F04%2F20%2F005212%2Flocalized-visual-programming-language-for-kids%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebo ok) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://ask.slashdot.org/story/13/04/20/005212/localized-visual-programming-language-for-kids?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
