# ForeignThon
Write Python in any human language. ForeignThon transpiles `.es.py`, `.ta.py` (and more) files into standard Python — keywords, builtins, exceptions, all of it.
```python
# hola.es.py
definir saludar(nombre):
retornar f"Hola, {nombre}!"
para i en rango(3):
imprimir(saludar(f"mundo {i}"))
```
```bash
fpy run hola.es.py
# Hola, mundo 0!
# Hola, mundo 1!
# Hola, mundo 2!
```
## Installation
```bash
pip install foreignthon
pip install foreignthon-es # Spanish
pip install foreignthon-ta # Tamil
```
## Usage
```bash
fpy run script.es.py # transpile and run
fpy compile script.es.py # output a .compiled.py file
fpy check script.es.py # validate without running
fpy pack mylang.json # validate a language pack
```
### Language override
```python
# foreignthon: es
# ^ overrides the file extension
```
Or via CLI flag:
```bash
fpy run script.py --lang es
```
## Errors
Errors are shown in your language first, English below:
[ES] ErrorDeDivisionCero: Error: división por cero
[EN] ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
## Language Packs
A language pack is a JSON file + a tiny Python wrapper published as `foreignthon-xx` on PyPI.
See `packages/langs/es/` for the reference implementation.
The JSON covers:
- **keywords** — `si → if`, `para → for`, `definir → def`
- **builtins** — `imprimir → print`, `rango → range`
- **exceptions** — `ErrorDeValor → ValueError`
- **error_messages** — bilingual error output
- **stdlib** — `matematicas → math`
Validate your pack before publishing:
```bash
fpy pack mylang.json
```
## Development
```bash
git clone <your-repo>
cd foreignthon
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e "packages/foreignthon[dev]"
pip install -e packages/langs/es
pytest packages/foreignthon/tests/ -v
```
