I believe, John, you are only offered those language packs via update, on the Betas, but could be wrong. The computer business is, in general, dominated by the english language. But maybe you are unaware, for example, if I buy a copy of Windows in a shop here, it would only be the Danish edition. Ditto in Germany. etc.. Unless I choose to go to the Microsoft download site, I would never be offered another language. But even the alternative language editions are packaged, in most cases, with the English titles (Ultimate etc). The various badges which appear throughout, such as on the "System" window, also show the english names. I am sure it is only these small changes to which Microsoft refer. (If it is from a genuine MS source)
In the link given, there is no source. I could not find,by a quick browse, any original source either, as it loops around to the same unsourced comments. I can see that either the author is not native English, or has made a poor translation of something he has read. I would certainly like to be corrected on this assumption, but fail to understand the context of what the link referes to, bearing in mind what I have stated, as a fact, in this post. Maybe there are many countries where it is impossible to purchase the package in the native language??
