#2This could work very well when teaching programming.

#4There have been some attempts for localized programming languages. In fact, e.g., MS Excel Macros are localized (e.g., "SUMME()" in german instead of "SUM()").
There is even a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_...
I'm a bit conflicted. On the one hand, I am all for language diversity and empowering local languages. It may also help novices and very young learners. On the other hand you are already learning an unfamiliar formalism and it hinders interoperability, sharing and collaborating. Hm..

Are there any attempts to have it both ways?
Like, the source code stays in English but my IDE translates keywords to and from my language.

Yeah, localized languages don't work that well on global scale.
Side effects may include large number of bubble communities not being able to contribute to one another which leads to fragmentation and friction. What will happen to large open source communities? Will those have only French people working on networking and Russians working on CPUs ? Also large companies won't be able to hire from smaller programmer pools because they will have to learn yet another spoken language.

#7ah, this reminds me of how much JOY I am having using my localized Microsoft Excel. All formulas have been translated to my native language and it's just BLISS to work with. This makes it MUCH easier to search the interweb for my specific formula question.
We obviously need much more localization. Particularily in error messages.

#8I created something like this when I was first learning to code in C++. A horrible Swedish variant of the language based on massive abuse of the pre processor, good times.

That's exactly how Excel does it.
Personally, I don't like it. I prefer English function names.
However, the most annoying thing about Excel localisation is that the behaviour of CSV import/export changes depending on the OS locale setting. It doesn't even let you override it. You actually have to change the OS settings to get the English behaviour.
