I have recently learned that localized versions of the 1997 Microsoft Plus! for Kids preview, and demo were included in European Windows 98 FE CDs as part of their interactive CD samplers. The languages that localized the preview/demo were British English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German. This hints that there might be full localized copies of Microsoft Plus! for Kids out there that were exported in those countries.
Speaking of UK English, I also looked at the "Same Language Dub" page on TV Tropes and learned that the MSN 2.0 preview was dubbed into British English for European releases, but I couldn't find any copies of that dub nor specific proof, so I'm not sure if it actually exists or not. It's also odd because the preview is in live-action with on-screen actors, yet they're redubbed with British voice actors, and the preview's association with MSNBC and Slate was kept in the dub.
Here's the links to where I found the information:
