Hey Apple folks it's February and I cannot download my Spanish iTunes software as promised!

You can reply that I seem to understand English, but man I want my OS in my language! If I want to learn English I will go to school

You do seem to know english well but I can empathize as my name has a umlaut! People here have no idea what to do with one of those!

Whäts sö härd äböüt püttïng än ümläüt ön yöür nämë?
(thats what an umlaut is right?)
But, I agree. I do not spell colour without the 'u', or empathise with a 'z'.
And so on.
But, you have to remember... the world revolves around the USA. Or, more precisely, 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California...

There was a small delay between QuickTime 5 Preview 1 in English and French (about 12 days), but for the second Preview, nothing yet.
Next time i buy Macs and it will be in early summer, i will buy the US version of software for quick updates.

With OS X, this localisation problem should be out of the way... hopefully !

Greetings,
I believe that Allah meant, in general, the U.S.A. has little understanding of accented characters. Sure, on a Mac it's quite easy. Just try getting the Department of Motor Vehicles to put one on your driver's license. Or try to get it printed on your paycheck. Even typesetters don't always do it. Hove many times have you seen Goring or Goering instead of Göring? Note that the "oe" is acceptable, but I'm now rambling...

For MacOS X final, i am sorry to say there will be different systems in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian etc.. All can be pre-ordered on European Apple Stores for delivery on march 24th.Price is the same by the way.
