I am pretty sure Joseph you are referring to the languages
offered in the apex and the MPowers. They have the languages for
Spanish, French, German and Italian. You would also like for
them to include at some point Korean. Even if it were an
optional package.

Subject: [Braillenote] Apex: Few conversations with an Apex...
Hi,
More cryptic messages - this time in a conversational format.
Again, these
are meant to expose some features on the Apex:
Scene 1: Apex has just won a speech competition. I'm currently
interviewing
this Apex for a possible spot at a linguistics college.
Me: hey my Apex, which person could you impersonate while reading
text?
Apex: Well, I can impersonate many historical figures like King
Louis XIV of
France, some Spanish warriors and even some tenors in Italian
operas.
Me: Hmmm, anyone else?
Apex: Er, perhaps some musicians from Germany, some Englishmen
and kings
from Korea.
Me; Ah, I see. So I take it that you speak all these languages
and
canimpersonate them?
Apex: Sure. But my makers didn't teach me Korean yet, but I hope
to learn it
really fast.
Me: Really? How?
Apex: Well, you know that I have several file friends who can
teach me
Korean in an instant, right?
Me: Of course... Hope to see you teaching me Korean soon... So
how do I
activate your skills?
Apex: well, it's in a menu somewhere.
(Hint: This conversation refers to a teaser I've sent around
mid-May).
Scene 2: Dissatisfied with its music, I'm arguing with an Apex to
possibly
change something crucial to force it to play new music.
Apex: Hey, don't do this to me! I'm happy with what I play in
front of you,
all right?
Me: Oh no you don't. I'll make sure to force you to play
something different
when you say, "I'm ready to start over."
Apex: Why? Is it because you don't like my music?
Me: No. I just want to see you emulating a computer.
Apex: Oh yeah? Do you know my file names and where I store my
music?
Me: Yes, I do, you evil piece of silicon!
Apex (smiles broadly): You know what... Since you found out my
secrets, I'll
make sure that your project will be undone!
(hint: relates to a well known hack that only select users know).
I know some of you may recognize these "features"... Try figuring
these out
- perhaps I'll add you as an editor on my PBWorks page. (smile).
Cheers,
Joseph
