I'm writing a source code editor that translates identifiers and keywords on-screen into a different natural language. This tool will do no transformations except at the reversible word level. There is one simple, avoidable case where this results in nonsense in many languages: "is not". I propose allowing "not is" as an acceptable alternative to "is not".
-1. There should be one obvious way to do it. And honestly, if you're dealing with natural language, and your system is not able to change word order words between languages, you're in a lot of trouble already.
