I have to admit, I was pretty excited when I saw the screencap of an Adobe order confirmation email above from TUAW reader Craig. Despite Adobe's repeated official refusal [pdf] to do anything for Intel Mac Photoshop users until CS3, it looked like there might be big news on the Photoshop front. A closer look, though, shows that the rumor mill has gotten ahead of itself on this one, and here at TUAW, we believe in quashing this sort of thing in the bud. It's "Macintosh, Universal English," not "Macintosh Universal, English." That one little comma is huge. It's the difference between a universal binary, and a product that isn't localized specifically for British, American, or Canadian English.

They need to hurry up already, especially now that apple's "pro" line is finally all-intel.

The main reason for the slow transition I've heard is because they are moving everything into Apple's XCode, which apparently isn't quite ready for this level of projects.

"...isn't localized specifically for British, American, or Canadian English."
And what are Australian and South African English, chopped liver?

I don't like organ meat as a rule. and while I do make an exception for fois gras, no chopped liver today.
Take it up with Adobe, though: the available CS 2 English localizations are Canada, US, UK, US Medical and US Legal. I don't make the rules.
That may change in CS 3, though. Former Macromedia products support a much wider variety of English localizations; That may bleed over into the traditional Adobe product line at some point.
