I probably was not deep enough in Turbo Pascal to have used them. My background in learning by my native language included only that teaching and books and other materials were in Finnish. Software was not, and I agree it would be really hard to localize the errors etc. though back in the day I studied, there was no possibility to google anything either 😅

There's a modern, cross-platform, and free (as in freedom) successor to Borland Pascal/Delphi: freepascal.org/
Has a classic "white on blue" console IDE for a nostalgia mode, too. :)

Cool! I should check that out. I even might try to turn on my 486-laptop which has all my pascal code.
