I really have no idea what foreign versions are planned for Chessmaster 8000.
But, I STRONGLY suspect that any versions in another language will still be
ENTIRELY in English, with only the manual and help files translated. The process
of converting ALL of the text and audio (MANY hours and megabytes worth) is just
not cost effective, when foreign versions usually sell only a few thousand
copies at most.

It IS possible, though, that there will be versions where only the interface
elements are translated (buttons and menus and so on). But, this might be worse
and more frustrating for the user, when the analysis and tutorials and Josh
annotated games still are in English.
