Nice.. it's a simple string replace according to the source[1].

The next improvement I can see is allowing for numbers from the tongue language, and overwriting console.log to replace shown numbers.

I don't see a usecase for this -- this is very interesting nonetheless. :)

Thanks for the feedback. Currently, tongue.js library tokenizes the code & replaces the JavaScript keywords. I should consider supporting numbers as well. The whole idea behind is that people should learn to program in their native language if they are not comfortable with English. Of course, just this won't make it happen, since there are not enough resources available to achieve that. But I believe using this, many tutorials and resources could be created which would help people learn how to code in their mother tongue :)
