Here, the catalan government pays Microsoft to translate windows into Catalan while no governmental office uses the translated version.
Even more, though they passed a law by which if a program was needed it should be open source as long as it was 'as good as the propietary one' the government keeps on using propietary software. The sentence is too ambiguous and Microsoft may be is 'not paying attention' to the fact that most software in public institutions is probably pirate as long as all the money invested is invested in their products..
Fortunately Mandrake (and some other) are also in Catalan.
PS: Catalonia is another region of Spain and Barcelona its capital.
