In addition, string literals and comments must also be in ASCII. The only exceptions are (a) test cases testing the non-ASCII features, and (b) names of authors.

<p>Excuse me if this was discussed before, but in French and
Japanese translations, all the sample programs seem to have
identifiers in English still. According to
"PEP 545 -- Python Documentation Translations", as I understand
.po files are used for translations. May I ask if there's
technical restrictions causing translations being only applied to
the text parts?</p>
<p>For example, here's the first sample program in 4.2:</p>

Here's a possible translation in Chinese:<br>
<pre style="overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;padding:5px;background-color:rgb(238,255,204);color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18.528px;border:1px solid rgb(170,204,153);font-family:monospace,sans-serif;font-size:15.44px;border-radius:3px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><span class="m_-3397583337776195993go" style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"></span>>>> # 丈量一些字符串
... 词表 = ['猫', '窗户', '丢出窗户']
>>> for 词 in 词表:
... print(词, len(词))
...
猫 1
窗户 2
丢出窗户 4
</pre>
As you may notice the strings differ in size if they are translated
directly. Obviously that does add extra burden to review the new
sample programs to assure effectiveness and readability.<br>
Any suggestion or comments are welcome.<br>
