What's the *use case* for multiple languages? Multiple keyboard layouts
I can understand, but languages?

I had to take a quick look at the discussion about this last fall, and
the only real argument I found was that TOS did it. But Atari did this
in TOS to cut costs, not because users needs or wants to switch between
German and French. Having single-language builds for 512Kb too would be
the easiest solution, wouldn't it? And the one that left most space for
new features.
