Which may be owned by another company, which could be owned by a holding company
whose primary stockholder is a Korean businessman

| I suggested French and Spanish because of the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA)
that says that products sold in North America need tri-lingual instructions.
It also allowed a LOT of stuff to be made in Mexico instead of USA

Thank you for the explanation.
Personal I don't think other languages are needed. But if they would, Dutch
and German would also be nice
