In addition to the ongoing discussion I like to ask, how far you would
like to go?
If you like unicode support for functions, classes and variable names,
are you willing to do the same for all the php specific function names
and php language specific words? Will "function" and "class" or "return"
(and so on) be translated / available to/in "hebrew" or "russian" only
because I/somebody "can not speak english"? I doubt you will do that!?
The arguments of those people who like to have the support for variable
names should be the same for these words and function names. Why the
arguments do not apply here?
The whole discussion sounds really weird to me because it is focused on
only a very specific part of the language construct... all arguments I
have seen can be summarized as "I do not understand english (well) and
thats why i would like to use my language for variable and function
names". But having support for unicode variable names does not make
anybody be able to program like hell without knowing and understanding
the language specific function names (which I assume will ever be in
english) and identifiers.
I do not think that it is neccessary / important to support unicode here.

ok, so you shouldn't program in french. For others it is fine and works

Show me one such person please. One that does this using PHP. :)
One that really NEEDS this to be possible..
I'm with Pierre on this, and I'm not native english speaker either.
