4. [and this is what I'm mostly asking about] Graphics commands, for example circle() or set_line_color() or set_line_colour() [we support both syntax ;-)]. The strings are ready to be translated [i.e. replace circle() by cercle(), or set_line_color() by couleur_de_ligne()] but, since the documentation (and tutorials) are likely to be only in English, I'm wondering about the wisdom of translating them.
Out of curiosity, how are you going to handle translating the api? Is there some functionality for this in python itself? Are you actually emulating method accesses with __getattr__()? Are you using some other tool to translate the method names (and presumably if you were, for readability you could translate variable names, comments, etc, as well) into actual internationalized source files? - d
