Multilingual

Peter's environment, as well as the programs created in Peter, is multilingual. Presently most of the programs are in Czech and English. Every program runs in language version according to the operating system (system option "Local settings") or according to the language of the Peter's environment, if this program is running from the Peter. Internal comments in this program are displayed according to the language of the Peter's environment too. Similarly multilingual are also names of the programs and library files and that's thanks to aliases of those files.
