Default Prius Manual in French?

I'm trying to find a copy of the Prius manual in French. I assumed that one was available, because the car "speaks" French as one of its display options ("Madeleine's" display is now in French, except for the air conditioning and the radio: comme c'est curieux, comme c'est bizarre!).

When I first asked my dealer about it vis e-mail, he replied with "Why in the world would you want it in French? Isn't it hard enough to understand". Pretty much a non-reply, IMO. Then, when I saw him in person (because I needed a dealer sig to get my $300 rebate check---didn't Toyota HAVE my info already?) and asked, he called someone and said he'd get back to me.

Today, I e-mailed him again. And he says "According to the people in California, you can't get a manual for that car in French."

True or not true? I thought that anything sold in Québec had to have a French language version.

Yeah, you'd think the manual would be available in French. After all, the car is sold in at least two francophone markets -- France and Quebec.

I'm in a pretty bilingual town. I'll call my dealership to see if they have French copies available.
