Philips Interactive Media had a special 'Myst Language Conversion Kit' to translate Myst on CD-i in various languages: Were these languages unique to the CD-i version?

Here's another interesting and rare piece of CD-i: This is a CD-i called "Myst Language Conversion Kit" by Philips Interactive Media. It's not yet clear what this disc was about but it is clear there is a CD-i logo on the sticker. Myst on CD-i was released in 1996 and it was available in various languages, like the dutch language was there too as the disc was subtitled. I'm not sure how this was on other platforms: When I google the boxarts of other console versions like 3DO, Jaguar and Amiga, I don't see as many languages present on the discs, was this a specific CD-i feature? Did the CD-i version feature more languages compared to other versions? And were these translation specifically made for CD-i? That's an interesting question. Apparently Phlips wrote a specific tool for it and thanks to this we can even play Myst in the Dutch language :)
