JavaScript - Language Patch

I would like to ask people's opinions as to which "offline" language is most similar to javascript? I don't program for a living, but I have been learning javascript in my spare time. I would now like to have a shot at making a desktop application, and I think it would help to choose one which is most similar, if at all possible, to javascript?

e.g. python, ruby, C#, visual basic ... I have no idea and haven't had much luck googling this

Thanks

Hi Folks,

I'm developing a software tool that can create the basic software outline (classes, modules, functions) from natural language. (The problem definition document for example) The benefits of a initial software structure are an enhanced software performance, and a greater adaptability later on.

I was wondering for what purposes this tool would be interesting? And if an integrating this with a programming language would be interesting, so a pre-programmed code divided over several classes emerges.

Best regards,

I want to have a browser language detection for 2 languages for Explorer and Firefox and struggle a little to make it work.

I don't know really much about JavaScript so I guess I did some grave errors. It works for one language though, but for that I don't really detection.

I am not sure if that's wrong, but I try to look for the 'en-' in the language not to deal separately with en-US, en-AU, en-UK etc.

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">

var str=navigator.language;
x = (str.search(/en-/i));

if ( !(x=='-1') )   {
document.write("English Mozilla");
}

var expl=navigator.browserLanguage;
ex = (expl.search(/en-/i));

if (  !(ex=='-1') )   {
document.write("Englisch1 Explorer");
}

var dm=navigator.language;
d1 = (dm.search(/de-/i));

if ( !(d1=='-1') )   {
document.write("German Mozilla");
}

var dex=navigator.browserLanguage;
dexpl = (dex.search(/de-/i));

if (  !(dexpl=='-1') )   {
document.write("German Explorer");
}

</script> 

I am not super familiar with code - I can easily take code and with a little direction get the desired end result so anyone who can help me with this it will be VERY appreciated. I don't even know what terms to search in order to create a page that I am looking for....

So here goes:

I want to model our distributor page after a R E D K E N.com Distributor Locator Page.

Here is what happens....

There is a drop down menu of the 50 states, and when you select the state the table of information below changes.

I am sure this is fairly easy to resolve, however I don't know where to begin.

Thank You in advance for your time.

Hi, I'm currently trying to get javascript to work with internet explorer. I managed to get one part of the translation file to work. It's a javascript to change some of the words on Facebook from English to Secwepemc (native american language). The original file works in Firefox and Chrome but not in safari. I knew it was because internet explorer has its own parameters. A file works completely for FF and chrome but not for IE. So, I changed the language a bit so that IE can understand it. Now I have one part of the translation working but not the others. I am wondering if it would be better to use ID's, names, and class all together to get the english words I want to change. I am using grease monkey for IE to use this script. I know firefox and chrome are much better but the plan is for everyone to use and some people still use IE. I know that if I have part of the words translating, then it must be the wrong identifiers. If someone can either help me find the right identifiers or if I missed changing syntax from FF and Chrome to IE, that would be amazing! Here is the javascript file.

Code:

var es = new Array();
es["Home"] = "Tsitcw";
es["News Feed"] = "Lexeyem";
es["Friends"] = "Kweselkten";
es["Like"] = "Xwexwisten";
es[" likes this."] = " r xwexwistes.";
es["Today"] = "Pyin Te Sitqt";
es["Say hello."] = "Say weytk.";
es["Say hi."] = "Say weytk.";
es["Tomorrow"] = "Pexweyt";
es["What are you planning?"] = "Me7 Stemi ke7 tsuwet?";
es["Where?"] = "T'he7en";
es["Who's invited?"] = "Sweti7?";
es["What's on your mind?"] = "Stemi ke7 peti'nesme?";

function loadSecwepemc() {
	var fbelem = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

	    if (thisElem.innerText in es) {

	    }
	}

	var fbelem = document.getElementsByTagName('span');

	for (var i = 0; i < fbelem.length; i++) {
	    var thisElem = fbelem[i];
