SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Oh my god. It's got an IDE like Blitzmax! Just paste your code in and it run's!

One thing though it say's it's English but everything is in Russian or Ukranian.

A nice easy way to get into Pascal. With the benefits of nearly running at Machine code speed's

Seems like Pascal is...  A 'Blaise'!!! \o/

Before I get my coat, I never really took to Pascal, I had a few goes of it, see what's what, but there's something about it that doesnt click with me.

Still, horses for courses, as they say in the Tesco butchers deli end!  hehehe

Should ring alarm bells.

It's Russian: https://pascalabc.net/

You browsed the English version. You should take notice of the Russia flag and UK flag at the right most top corner.

The Github repository:

As far as I know, it's a personal project of some university professors in their spare time. It's not sponsored by the state.

The IDE has an English version but when you use the help system to search stuff it's in Russian.

These guys really have done a good job. Shame the help file system is in .chm? Russian.

Yes. Shame on them. Many people used to ask them to provide an English version of the document but they refused. They can easily do this with the help of machine translators and AIs. I used to use machine translators to translate the whole text of the document to English, and the result is acceptable. But the only thing they will ever tell you is you should install DeepL to use with their CHM help file.

Fun fact: There is an online version of the help file that you can access using the web browsers:

But don't expect much from it. It's just the CHM help file extracted to HTML and hosted online. It's still Russian-only and Chrome's built-in whole page translation feature doesn't work with it. You will have to install extensions.

Ive managed to extract the.chm file and get it into .doc and .pdf. But still in Russian

maybe naively im thinking, if i can translate it back to English and then .chm.  Then inject it back we will have a working English .chm Help file

The file is to large to Attatch

It could be worse. It could have been one of those languages that are not so easily translated into English. All you have to do is look up on Youtube the number of versions of Bad Apple there are. Though this probably has more to do with the main vocals to make them fit the flow and tempo of the original vocals, than a bad translation.
