- This can't be the excuse. There are a lot of international products. They
- carry multi-lingual manuals to solve this problem. In a single manual, there
- are instructions in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese,
- Russian, etc. In this way, the cost doesn't increase much (need a single manual
- instead of one manual for each country market) and the products
- can be sold globally. So, printing-manual-cost-too-much can't be the excuse.

- Just my opinion.
