Catalog instructions and skins ( hpprime (simulated) ) in n languages.

[Giancarlo]

Hello,
I have never been a fan of translated commands into different languages.

It is still a mistery the reason why excel commands are language based. Anyway speaking about hp calculators and from a marketing point of view the only thing i would do is to have both the pdf and onboard manual in many languages.
The lack of manual in languages like italian prevent parents from buying a calc they couldn't explain to their 'kids' and scare students in case they are not able to fully understand the instruction.

If i buy a usb wall plug i don't mind about the language of the manual. A complex calculator for foreign students is even more difficult to understand if the manual has not been translated.

We are all conscious that english is the refence 'language' but in some countries english courses and math don't match in that way.

Then i understand that translating a manual in every la guage is a (huge) cost.

Thanks
