Eric,

Except with Japanese, for example, I believe they must be dealing with
something more than just "translation." Would not Japanese require a variety
of very different UI issues than, e.g., Indo-European languages?

As for the installation, perhaps what Dan was referring to was the size of
the files, that might well prohibit them from all being on one CD? I really
don't know, but I trust his experience.
