There is a long history of versions of standard languages with
keywords translated into various languages. Translating the
keywords is of course easy enough. What is harder in some cases
is when the structure of a compound statement (such as if else)
does not match the native language.

So in fact to many people, it makes sense, especially say for
initial student introduction, to do these kind of translations.
