English speakers will always have a big advantage. In some cases there will not even be an established way to translate certain concepts. Translating technical documentation to other languages - if there are even the resources to do so - will inevitably be imprecise, ambiguous, and will introduce errors. When a programming language is designed, should "if" in every human language be reserved as a keyword? Are users of such a language expected to memorize thousands of reserved keywords, mostly in languages they don't know? It's just impractical. Programming languages themselves use English keywords, and the alternative is simply impractical. There's really no way to get around English being required for programming. I dislike that Wired article because it's severely underestimating the difficulties and costs of making programming viable to non-English speakers. I read a couple of threads and an open question in the spanish wiki about this issue, and the TL DR is that the menu entries' text is hardcoded into the emacs programming on Lisp, and it would be a titanical task to translate all of that, or at leasty port it to be translatable. Give it a read and you might undertand my position. Wired just published an amazing article about this issue. I often have to work in poor communities in remote areas setting up refurbished machines so this people have a fitts ever contact with a computer. But often people have to deal with other issues and they don't have time or resources to learn another language. Even I got used to first and foremost search in english for my resources. You might say "well then, learn english!". Here is the problem: there is no translation or localization of emacs menu. Here in Mexico english level is quite low, with at the most some people understanding 70% of written form, with lower percentages of other areas of the language.

I often have to do classes on how to use computers in general.

#REFURBISHED EMACS WINDOWS#
However, I cannot get emacs to see any of my linux fonts (or windows fonts, for that matter).įrom my shell, I can run fc-list and get a list that includes things like consola and Inconsolata (which is what I want): $ fc-list I can run emacs fine from bash, using MobaXTerm as the xserver.
#REFURBISHED EMACS INSTALL#
I'm running bashforwindows, and have install emacs natively ( not emacs for windows) following the awesome instructions given by Luke Lee to install from source here: How to use X Windows with Emacs on Windows 10 Bash?
