Peter Lewerin's bon mot to refer to the Tcl(n) manual page [1], with its twelve rules that form the whole of Tcl's syntax. It's a pun on the Dekalogue (Ten Words), the Greek term for the Ten Commandments; the Greek for Twelve Words is Dodekalogue.

• Dutch translation: Elf regels, with comments by AM
• Finnish translation: Yksitoista sääntöä
• French translation: Les onze règles
• German translation: Einfach man Tcl, with some comments by RS
• Icelandic translation: Reglurnar ellevu by Zarutian
• Italian translation: Le undici regole
• Pig Latin: Tclay - Ooltay Ommandcay Anguagelay
• Polish translation: Man Tcl - po polsku
• Portuguese (Brazilian) translation: Onze regras
• Russian translation: Man Tcl по русский
• Spanish translation: Once reglas
• Swedish translation: De elva reglerna
• Portuguese (Portugal) translation: As onze regras

Latin still needs some work, but I've started a page on http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcl - who knows better & more, please improve it! RS 2004-12-27

Discussion edit

LV Are these pages just straight translations of the Tcl(n) man page? Basically yes, at times with added comments. The community is asked to add more languages!

AMG: Prior to Tcl 8.5, the Tcl man page had eleven rules, hence the name Endekalogue. The {*} expansion rule has since been added.
