I contacted both the australian company supposedly handling english-speaking
world distribution (who said there'd been so little interest they were
basically giving up) and the european agents (who said "we're not planning
on doing an english version - if you want it in german no problem")
 
So unless you're fluent in german it looks no go...
 
of course if _enough_ people were to show interest it might be possible
to make them change their minds and do an english translation ( the
demo version was _very_ good )
