My sophomore year, I had the idea to create Python, but in several different languages, for a competition! The idea is, you know, Python is in English, so keywords like print are English. This is a detriment to non-English speakers learning how to code! So why not develop an app that allows the user to code in a different language? For example, instead of writing print in Spanish Python (aka Pitón) you can write imprimir. That way, non-English speakers can more easily understand Python and therefore will be more inclined to learn!

It's available in Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Bengali, Dutch, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese. I just took the 11 most commonly spoken languages other than English (other than Arabic, because it would have been complicated to do right-to-left programming).
