You're probably right, although I don't know what portion of the demo you are
talking about. Please clarify.

As for the full program, though, it is currently being translated into five
languages: Dutch, French, Italian, German and Spanish. We hope to release these
versions in about 3-4 months.

I have asked my contacts at Vivendi (our publishers) this very same question,
and hope to have an answer this week.
