POWFOLIO TO BE WORLD WIDE - RICK STROM EXPLAINS IT:
Rick Strom Other languages: yes the app will be localized -- eventually. We already have a localization system in place, but it takes time and money (and people!) to get the translations done, so we typically hold off on localization until we see which territories are responding well to the app.
One thing we are planning is an extensive manga category, which we would hope would be popular in Asia. So if and when we launch that, we would also probably preemptively localize the app to that region.
In general though there isn't a ton of text to localize. Genre names, things like that, but in general when we are designing an app we tend to do so in a language agnostic way. e.g. a play button instead of a text "READ" button, or an X instead of the word "CLOSE". That way the app makes sense worldwide, and the actual translation is more of a bonus.

In his words. Yes World Wide, but it will be more extensively localized as they see which "territories" are doing well with the app. THEN they put resources to those locations.
The bottom line is POWfolio will be Global! The other extras will happen as more resources become available. Which I see the Manga Asian Market as HUGE!
Can't wait for the release date!!! all the best everyone, thedocg.
