MA3 distribution channels

As far as internationalization, it's the very reason why MA3 updates must be so few and far between. When I turn in a release candidate, an army of translatiors and programmers go to work making versions in German, French, Korean, Japanese, etc.

Where can my friends/acquaintances get those versions?

A friend in Germany is using the "American English" version, but I'm sure she would like the German version better.

And I've been reluctant to recommend MA3 to acquaintances in France (because they think it's 'illegal' to run any software that's not in French).

Arktis handles the German Version. I think Amazon carries it:

I'll have to ask Prolific about the French version. The German, French and Chinese versions are all usually included when my code comes back to me from Edgar.

I think the Korean version is handled by i-Aqua:

Chinese is from Well Develop:

Its no secret I have been trying to buy MA3 for some time.

I have contacted New Zealand several times but do not even answer their E/m, they are not returned either.

The UK stores says buy online but all you get is the stores addresses.

I tried Amazon and all I could find was old second hand stuff.

Finding them is easy I bought MA2 from them.

Its that they do not reply to any correspondence.
I am not going to waste my money and ring them.
