Nah, here is my translation. It's not word by word and my english is far
from perfect, but it should catch the meaning.

"Benoit Minisini has published version 1.0 of his BASIC
development environment "Gambas". It's a BASIC dialect with object
oriented extensions. Gambas is similar to Microsofts Visual Basic, but
according to the developer not a clone. For example Str$(), Val or
CStr() behave differently, controls are declared private, in break mode
no changes in the code are possible and simple types like Integer or
String only can be passed by value (and not by reference). The
differences are mentioned in the docs.
For future versions Minisini plans numerous extensions, e.g. xml
functions via libxml2, perl compatible regular expressions, persistent
objects or support for GTK+  GUI programming. Until then Gambas
applications have to use Trolltechs C++ framework Qt.
The development environment can be compiled from source code for Linux.
Binary packages are available for some distributions like Debian Sarge,
Fedora Core 2, Gentoo or Suse."
