The command words and their parameters are always words from the English language. Examples are
MOVE, COPY, ON, OFF, etc.

There is no intention to use other languages concerning the commands. If you do not know English you will have to learn commands and parameters as sequences of characters. However, you need to know very little English in order to derive the meaning of a command from its word.

The messages given byexaEdit and the short help texts, which are provided by the exaEdit command
HELP, are available in different languages.
