Microsoft Unveils Four Language-Localized IE 7 Betas by GREGG KEIZER Microsoft released Arabic, Finnish, and German versions of its still-under-development IE 7 Beta 2 browser late Friday, and unveiled the Japanese edition Monday night.
Users writing on the IE team's blog wanted to know why other languages -- Spanish, French, and Chinese in particular -- have been omitted.
"We will provide IE7 in all languages we have for Windows once we ship later this year, including all the languages requested," wrote IE group program manager Tony Chor on the blog. "These beta versions are simply the first ones we have localized and tested. We picked these as representative of some of the different challenges we face as we localize IE."
