It's a multi-language pseudocode interpreter so you can write and run code in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French in your browser.

The french pseudo-code reminded me of my freshman year in Computer Science degree, so much nostalgia! Completely forgot about all that since then, but I wonder if using your mother tongue to learn programming is truly effective, especially in non-English speaking countries?

Very cool!

As a native speaker of Portuguese, I think it would look nicer the verbs were all in the same conjugation, simple present. You have "retornar" (return) which is in infinitive form and "escreva" write which is in the present imperative mode. I would choose to put all the verbs in the simple present:

retorna => return faz => do escreve => print

I couldn't find the Portuguese version for "break", but in my opinion it should be "quebra" or "interrompe".

If this project becomes open source, I'll be happy to contribute.
