<para
>As you know, one of the great features of &logo; is that the &logo; commands can be translated in your own language. This makes it easier for a child to understand the commands. For a new language, there are 3 files to translate: first the keywords file (or commands) then the logo-highlight-style file and finally the examples. </para>
