I'm confused about using the 'phrase' word. What is a phrase? In Russian it's a few words, for ex. 'Luke, I'm your father', 'Easy come, easy go' and so on. Not a word, or a command.

phrase means a single piece of work for the interpretor. So if EXPR is a phrase it can be a single "word" like a function call, or a binary operator scan > 0 etc.

I used phrase because it hasn't been used too much in this context, so doesn't have as many overloaded precise meanings in English at least.

Well, I guess that's ok. =) I can use "команда" или "шаг", but the first one is incorrect, the second is dumb. "Фраза" is a beautiful greek word, so be it.

Should you explain that somewhere or it's a common thing to programmers?) I found nothing about it that's why I ask.

I just assume players will get the gist by playing the game that its a measure of code size. Less code is better and that's really all that's necessary to understand.

Yeah phrase isn't really used elsewhere, maybe there is a better word for it but I don't know one I just used that. So for the translation you can of course use whatever makes sense as "small expression" or "code piece" or whatever.
