Good day Guys,

Maybe I do not understand it or get lost among many emails. But

Would not it be better to create a CD or DVD for each Region, ie

Americas: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Traditional)
Europe: German, French, Spanish (Traditional) (Spain =)
Asia: Chinese, Korean, etc.
Africa: African and languages of the continent, etc.

I think all the same part of the DVD in English to understand where the 
greatest efforts are made at this time.

Greetings.
