Agreed

speaking of which, why only those? I know you can't translate the IDE and
the helps files to all languages in the world, but there are some major
languages (by quantity of people that speak it, no offence to other
languages :) ), to which it could be translated. Examples could be Spanish,
Portuguese-Brazilian (i know there are differences but not to what point),
Chinese (i think Mandarin is the majority language there) or whatever is the
majority language in India (totally ignorant in this, sorry :)

as for me, i would gladly help to translate the IDE and help to Spanish. Not
that i have a problem with English, but this one i only speak since i was 12
or so, while Spanish is one of my mother languages (can you say it so in
English?). It's always easier for me in Spanish as in English. And i do know
that a lot of people in spanish forums have sometimes problems with English
language.

Other comments or thoughts? Any replies from Borland?
