Can the same be said for NeXT? I certainly hope someone is making a Cyrillic system, since the US->Soviet trade barriers seem to be slowly melting away (and seeming more silly all the time). We seem to have Arabic, British, Chinese, Dutch, Faeroese, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese (Kanji), Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian done already.
