I worked with one of the authors of the Brazilian SQL. It was exactly what it looks, every reserved word translated to Brazilian Portuguese.
Oh god. I still have nightmares about that time I had excel formulas in Portuguese, I refuse to think about SQL.
Don't forget the keyboard shortcuts. Office products would change shortcuts according to the language, so it would be more mnemonic. Ctrl-F for find and Ctrl-B for bold would be reassigned to whatever initials that language had. Fun! /s
