Commodore Norway had a Norwegian Logo (N-Logo) for the Commodore 64.
There were even two versions: one that used the Nordic special
characters, one that didn't (most users hadn't installed the Norwegian
character set).  It was quite popular.

If I remember correctly (I was working in tech.support at Commodore),
the Norwegian version was created by editing the keywords and error
messages in the "standard" version, possibly with a disk editor or
similar.  I had to use a disk editor myself, when I wrote a
transaltion table to/from standard Logo.
