After having a look on titan's website it seems that ther's only german and english version of papyrus Office... so could you explain that? (published near a year ago) http://www.morphzone.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=239 It seems quite logical no french people answered to your call to translation...

What!!!?!??! Who cares about the frenchs!?!? They are only at 10th position of the most speaken languase in the the world, we the Portuguese speakers which are at 8th position, with between 191 and 210 millions fluent speakers, demand a Portuguese version of Papyrus!!! We deserve more then those... pfff frenchs! ;b

Will there be a Binary version? I usually only use a Word Processing programs that show everything in Binary. I mean it's the really the only "True" universal language.

Except that Bugatti was sold to the Italians way before the car on the picture was produced ...

Look at this Renault minivan. http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Dunes/4204/newpage/english/second.html

And speaking to the kids "Are you SURE you have your belt secured ?"

Seriously.. English and German are by far the two languages most used
by Amiga/MorphOS users. So it makes perfect sense to support these two
languages *first*, and to make an initial release that only supports
these. More languages can surely be added afterwards.

In reply to Comment 43 (Johan Rönnblom):
I'm puzzled by all this. Surely the usual thing is to release a single version which includes all the locale files. The user then selects his preferred language in the program's Preferences.

Why would Papyrus need to be released in different versions?

Amiga has locale system. If there is no French translation, you can always translate it yourself. it's not like in Windows land were you need separate executable for every damn language.

You're joking right? It's a boxed office package - and office packages has the highest chances to have users with little to no computer knowledge.
