Good info. You may want to make it more clear that it is the status for current products. My first iPod did not have any Russian ui, for example.
Yes! Thanks, done.
My goodness, first I discover Michael Everson has a blog, and then I find Mr. Multilingual Mac himself is blogging helpful tips, too! It's been an exciting week for me. I'm learning a lot catching up in the archives, and I look forward to more of your multilingual Mac resources.
I'm having problems with typing in Korean in my mac. when i give it a space it gives an unusual amount of space. when i email the document and open in a pc, it opens and shows correctly with the correct spacing. but when i view it on my mac or type in my mac the spacing is very off. what's wrong? please help! thanks
Are you using MS Word when you input Korean? If so, you might try another app, as Word has all kinds of quirks with non-Roman scripts. Or ask in the newsgroups which MS runs to solve their problems:
