The designers were all native English speakers, the words for the etymologies from other languages were all obtained from dictionaries, not from any actual knowledge of those languages.

I think there were people working on Russian, French and German translations, but I don't know how advanced those are (or whether any of them has been completed). mu'o mié xorxes
