Versions are available in English, German, Dutch, French, and Esperanto.
Umm. If formatting versions for different languages is seriously expensive effortwise, ignore this note. I am just thinking about the list of languages. Those may well be the languages we have the most useful compendiums for. But while they may be nice for end(l)users, there is an unspoken, but IMAO symmetrical utility for _content_providers_ (and an even more deniability-enchanced personal interest of the poster of this message), and in those cases (the small languages) having the tomeraider-version on your palmtop as a handy check-off for topics already covered etc. might further speed up the catching up process those minor (but not for ever) affiliates have to climb.
Ah. Chuck deniability! Ok. The above might need to be set into it's accurate perspective by the addition of the backround information that I have acquired a Handspring Visor Deluxe, and my analysis may thus be more than slightly result-oriented, which usually is a bad sign...
