This is what I would call "not quite correct statement" ("lie" in
vernacular). I tried mupad a couple of months ago - all the important
documentation was in German, even comments in the shell scripts. If the
developers of the package are interested in its propagation, there must
be a distribution without a single German word in it. I'm not interested
in 2(!) versions of German manual, as well as in a bunch of other German
stuff.
