RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Interesting answer.

Your Spanish example is rather smart, but not hitting the problem: it is related to cases, where you have a code snippet in Java and the same implementation in Python. If you know how to program in Java, you might learn how to do the same in Python. There are some websites, that show the coding examples for the same case in different languages.
The challenge: you always need someone, who gives you the case in a language you know.

And here we are:
Y ou have an idea about some workflow and want someone else to implement it for you in a programming language you do not know even the basics.
This means: You do not know how to speak in any language, you only have an idea, what you want to say ;-) crude, isn't it ;-)

As mentioned, I am talking about my experience(nearly 8 years developing
and supporting SikuliX) in helping other people:

hard-nosed:
 Your approach tends to leave the "helping" people with the feeling, that they work for you, without being rewarded.
... and in the longer run: You will come back, if you have any problems, since you have found  someone who can hardly refuse to help you - bad situation for the helper.

So from time to time with people acting like you do, I dare to say what
I think.

In this case you would need max 3 smart google searches to get tons of examples, that you could study, to solve your problem.
A question, that shows, that you already did some basic research, can be answered easier and faster, if it is only about some uncertainties or gory details.

google example:
sikuli read textfile

reveals more than 36000 results and the first one already contains a possible solution:
it is an answer from 2012 ;-)

... and I really dislike intros like "Forgive me if this is a simple
question, but I only know a little about programming, so I'm hoping
someone can help me out", since they are intended to make others to
sympathise.
