Unfortunatelly no, too.
It all comes down to "standards". English, like it or
not, is a standard. Many people know it and everybody
should know it aswell.

Doesn't seem very smart for whose opinion? Is that a
standard? I try to keep up-to-date with anything I
consider interesting, that's not a geographical issue
here.
Maybe. The problem about brazilian MSX computers and
their developers is that they tried to get away from
the MSX standards. The Expert has it's character table
altered, while the HotBit has serious hardware
problems. "Sorry, you won't be able to run this
software on your HotBit / Expert". Everybody knows how
standards are important. Fortunatelly with emulators,
you can run a virtual MSX with the original Microsoft
MSX ROM.

That's exactly their worst problem. Like it or not,
everything related to technology is released first in
english. Waiting until someone with the time to spend
translates new material to your home language is to
waste precious time.
Not to mention how easily it would be to communicate
about anything (not only about computers) if everybody
knew the same language. Damn Babel Tower!! :)
I could talk about that for hours but I don't want to
disappoint the list with off-topic subjects. Please
don't think I'm a rude kind of guy, that's definitely
not true. It's just the way I think and the ideas I
fight for. :)
Cheers!
