Does NeXT ship a complete set of printed docs in any other language but  
english?  To my knowledge, and last scanning of the product list, no.  Some  
documentation (like the 3.0 Release Notes and Upgrade instructions) is shipped  
in languages other than english, and that's part of fulfilling the promise of  
being able to compute in 7 different languages.  But for the bulk of the  
documentation needed to operate and program with the NeXT, such as the User's  
Reference, System Administration guide and other operational and user manuals,  
it's still an english-only situation.

Living up to the promise of operating in 7 languages is not impossible to do  
with a NeXT.  Given the current situation, the promise should never have been  
made to begin with.
