[TUHS] Bell Foreign-Language UNIX Efforts

[segaloco via TUHS]

Good evening or whichever time of day you find yourself in.  I was reading up on Japanese computer history when I got to thinking specifically on where UNIX plays in with it all, which then lead to some further curiosity with non-English UNIX in general.

In the midst of documentation searches/study, I've spotted French and what I believe to be Japanese documentation bearing Bell/AT&T logos.  I've also seen a few things pop up in German although they looked to be university resources, not something from the Bell System.  In any case, is there any clear historical record on efforts within the USG/USL line, or research for that matter, towards the end of foreign language support or perhaps even single polyglot installations?  Would BSD have been more poised for this sort of thing being more widely utilized in the academic scene?
