Vue 8 Now Speaks German and French

Fancy a Vue that speaks your language?
Starting today, all products in the 3D Enthusiasts and 3D Artists lines are now directly available in French and German.
The localized documentation, interface and help files are available at no charge!
Vue 8 Esprit, Studio and Complete users may switch the application language via a dedicated language pack. This language pack can be downloaded from the Software Update Section, alongside the latest Service Packs.
Vue 8 Pioneer, Theme Packs and Frontier users may now re-download their product*, directly from their User Account page.
The printed versions of the French and German official Vue 8 User Guides are now available from e-on software’s online store (for those of you who prefer a hard copy rather than the free electronic version included in the language pack).
you will have to re-install them after re-installing Vue.
Note for users of Vue 8 Infinite and xStream: an interface translation pack will be made available in the coming weeks. However the Vue 8 Infinite and xStream Reference Manual and help files will remain in English only.
Northern Kentucky Hillsides
The Hills Project was conducted by the University of Kentucky, Department of Landscape Architecture's Fifth Year Advanced Studio in partnership with the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission.
The whole project's purpose was to generate ideas, guidelines, and recommendations for both the development and preservation of Northern Kentucky’s hillsides and took four months to complete.
