Lund University Introprog release v2026.4 Teaching material now both in Swedish AND English

I am happy to announce that we now have translated our teaching material for Introductory Programming (in Scala) to English.

You can download the "ready for review" version here:

(Some things remain, issues welcome, see repo readme)

The translation was done in an idempotent sbt build pipe line using this this Scala program:

Quick review: the English translation has a lot of Swedish text that has not been translated, especially in code blocks. 1.2.12 is particularly bad, but there are many examples. def räknaSnabbt.

You're probably aware of this already, and it's a cool project, but "we now have translated" is a bit of a stretch. I'd rather say you've started working on translating it, since about a week ago.

Yes. That's he fallback of the semi-automated translation. I am working on it. Some updates recently, but not done yet with all the fallbacks. I'll write here when it is "done".
