Now, restart Alice 3. You will notice that most information in the display is now in Spanish but some terms and phrases are still in English, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. This is because the translation process is still in progress. Also, it is the case that some terms are keywords in the underlying Java language. Java keywords must remain as defined in Java and may not be translated.
