I've seen a fully localized german version of Unix called SINIX
(Siemens' Unix?).

Well, not *fully* localized, since the commands were still the usual
bunch of 'ls' 'cp', 'mv' etc... (is that really English? ;-)), but
everthing else, including error messages and man pages were in german.
That was really weird looking, yet cute.

I don't know if SINIX is still alive or defunct by now.

Oh yeah, I also remember a french version of PASCAL (with french
keywords!) from the early eighties. That was even weirder than
a localized Unix!
