[Request] MS-DOS 5.0 Catalan

Post by Battler »

It seems this existed, it's mentioned on this site: https://www.uoc.edu/euromosaic/web/docu ... i1/i1.html .

To quote:
The Catalan version of MS-DOS 5.0 was produced as a joint venture by UNISYS, Siemens-Nixdorf, Olivetti, Investrònica, Quars, IBM, ICL España, Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu España, Data General Bull and AOD-Microteam.
So if anyone has this, I'd greatly appreciate if they could provide us a copy.

I've seen Windows 3.1 in Catalan but never MS-DOS. o.o That would be interesting if found.

It appears that Windows 3.1, MS-DOS 5.0, and Macintosh System 7.1 were all available in Catalan, as well as hundreds of software packages.
Finally, Catalan is represented in the computing world by five operating systems (including Windows 3.1, MS-DOS 5.0 and Macintosh 7.1). The Catalan version of MS-DOS 5.0 was produced as a joint venture by UNISYS, Siemens-Nixdorf, Olivetti, Investrònica, Quars, IBM, ICL España, Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu España, Data General Bull and AOD-Microteam. There are also some spell-checkers for Catalan: ADHOC (developed by the Programma d'Informàtica Educativa of the Generalitat's Education Department), IBM (cooperation between the Catalan government and the University of Barcelona) and Microsoft Word. At least 177 software packages, produced by the various enterprises active in the Catalan market, were available in Catalan in 1993. The publishing house Enciclopèdia Catalana has also published a Catalan-Spanish-English dictionary (Hiperdiccionari) on CD-ROM (1993).
Pseudo-localized builds are awesome!

Yeah, we already have Windows 3.1 in Catalan on the MSDN discs. We don't have MS-DOS, though. Not sure about the Macintosh System 7.1.

It also mentions a total of 5 operating systems, but only names three. I wonder what the other two are.

2022 update: it has now been found: https://archive.org/details/ms-dos-5-cat-disquets . Now I wonder if 5.00a in Catalan exists as well or they only translated the original 5.00.
