@joe

I remember AppleScript on 漢字Talk:

もし「持ち物」が0ならば
    “持ち物がありません”をボタンリスト：｛“OK”｝、デフォルトボタン：“OK”で表示する
以上

@joe @YOCKOW I could swear back in the day the French dialect shipped but a few years ago I dedicated some time to search for it and didn’t find any proof it actually happened. But it was pretty cool, AFAIK the only language actually used in the wild to support this.

@arroz @joe @YOCKOW So going by the message from @onegeekarmy below, I think you might find it in one of the French System 7.x releases.

@uliwitness @arroz @joe @YOCKOW

I just remembered that I have in my Vault of Antiquities™ a boxed HyperCard in French (MO556 F/A) that I got in a pile of stuff someone discarded last year.

The documents inside are all in French, including the language guide.

I don't have the heart to remove the shrink wrap but, considering I can't find any of this in digital form, I may have to, for the greater good.

Interesting point: it requires System 3.2 and up, and so predates System 7 by quite a bit.

@uliwitness @arroz @joe @YOCKOW

While this is HyperCard and not AppleScript, Apple made a strong effort to enable non-English speakers to develop in their native languages, from the very beginning.
