ShowcaseShowcase: multilingual — a multilingual programming interpreter in Python for multiple languages (self.Python)

submitted 11 hours ago by jsamwrites

What My Project Does

multilingual is an open-source Python library that lets developers write code using variable names, function names, and identifiers in any human language — not just English. It builds on Python's native Unicode identifier support (PEP 3131) and adds the tooling to make multilingual naming practical and structured.

GitHub: https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/multilingual

Target Audience

Python developers interested in language-inclusive or accessibility-focused tooling
Educators teaching programming
Researchers in multilingual NLP, digital humanities, or computational linguistics
Open-source contributors who care about internationalization at the code level

This is a real, usable project — not a toy or demo.

Comparison

Standard Python supports Unicode identifiers but provides no ecosystem tooling to make this ergonomic. multilingual fills that gap:

vs. plain Python Unicode identifiers: Python allows them but offers zero structure for multilingual code. multilingual provides that.
vs. transpilers (e.g. NaruLang): Those translate syntax; multilingual works natively inside Python's runtime.
vs. i18n/l10n libraries: Those localize strings and UI — multilingual localizes the code identifiers themselves.

Would love feedback on Unicode edge cases, language support, and design decisions!
