Disrupting Ruby Naming

In the source files below, 'slash' means it is in a subdirectory. subdirectories are not allowed in gists. Find the source here

Let's say you, a native Spanish speaker, wanted to write some code and use a library, but you wanted it to be equally functional to a library that already exists, but have Spanish names. So far, our community has been focused on and expecting that everybody learn English. This is enforced in several places, but primarily in our programming languages. Let us be code librarians and ask ourselves: shouldn't we change that?

C

At first, I terrorized C's standard library by replacing the function names with those readable in Spanish. It was a good time.

require :spaES # <-- Select the stdlib locale
require 'stdlib' # <-- import the stdlib
 
# The above will be automatically done in practice, but it is just listed here
# as an illustration. This is because after this point, you need to use the term
# importar to import.
# As in: importar 'some-library'
 
# Only THIS file uses the function name table in español. Other files and existing libraries
# assuming the original or a different natural language are functionally unaffected. It is
