What is "WinDev"? A quick search didn't turn up much except a French Wikipedia article.

Windows Development, per opposition to DevDiv, Developer Division.

Two quite common names in the Microsoft ecosystem.

For a moment there I thought you were referring to this trademark: https://pcsoft.fr/windev/index.html Which was known at a time for having young women in light clothing in their marketing material.

aha, that's the windev that comes to mind too. I didn't know they were actually a french company, wild that they're still around... their ads were plastered everywere in the 2000s.

Apparently they have a programming language for which you can "one-click-switch" between english and french for the keywords??? https://pcsoft.fr/windev/ebook/56/
