There's also World Book in English, the biggest seller of print
encyclopedias (aimed at high-school students).
And Barsa in Portuguese.

And there are a few encyclopedias like Sarvavijnanakosam  (in
Malayalam) being written from the ground up for the first time, volume
by volume... presumably they will print a copy of each volume for
completion, even as they move their work online.
