Usually user manuals have to be translated, but not the content. Translating the UI would be quite cheaper for Apple than making new films for example.

- ska 6y agoThis is what I'm wondering about - I'm not sure what the threshold is for "this is too much of a pain in the ass, not going to bother", but I don't know this space. In general people who haven't done it seem to really underestimate the work in releasing a product in different countries. Especially with software, it seems like you don't have to do "anything" but there can be a lot of fiddly things even to figure out what the requirements really are.
- xiphias2 6y agoApple makes it really hard to buy some of its products outside the US legally. M1 Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM was not available in Costa Rica, so I tried to order it from the US. All official shops cancelled my purchase, as Apple forbids them to export. They didn’t allow drop shipping either. At the end I had to use EBay, which was much harder (and more expensive) to do.
