Locale examples

One program, eight reader surfaces. Faber source is written once and printed in whichever locale the reader asks for: keywords and type names change, while identifiers, strings, and the glyphs carrying structure stay put.

The panels below are the committed generator/locale-tabs/ cache — faber convert output, not hand-written Thai or Arabic. The Latin panel is canonical Faber; the rest are that same program rendered into each locale.

English (en)#

main {
    print "Salve, munde!"
}

Latin (la)#

incipit {
    nota "Salve, munde!"
}

The canonical surface every other panel is a re-rendering of.

    اعرض "Salve, munde!"
}

    दिखाओ "Salve, munde!"
}

    显示 "Salve, munde!"
