I knew about the Spanish but not the others. COOL! This is dated Oct 2010 so I assume it will take a while to roll them out, but how great!

Over the next few months, the company plans to expand its core learning products for children beyond its United States and United Kingdom markets, Kovac said. The company is translating its learning aids into Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian.
"Your Baby Can Read helps babies grasp new languages. It is important for a child to hear a language so that they can pick up on the auditory parts of the language," she said. The learning aids also utilize music, colors and shapes, among other prompts.
Your Baby Can Read also recently established a channel to sell a Spanish-language version of its English learning aids ---- called "Your Baby Can Speak" ---- through giant retailer Walmart Stores Inc. It also sells product through Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and Best Buy Co. Inc.
Since 2008, Your Baby Can Read, which employs about 30 workers and has a second office in London, has sold more than 1 million units at roughly $200 apiece. Kovac said she expects the international expansion to initially make up roughly 15 percent of the privately held company's revenue.
