Frankly I don't remember which language they were, either english or finnish. I had both the red and blue boxes (was it, with windows support or not?), and other was unopened.
I usually preferred english versions myself, as I learned computers with english, it was more comfortable with me. Also IBM had some rather odd choices on some words versus Microsoft, which could be jarring (was it Umpilevy for hard drive, as opposed to Kiintolevy or Kovalevy in most other places).
One year (must of been 1997 or so?) IBM had a crazy marketing campaign at Assembly[0], where they practically just handed out the boxes to anyone who would take them. If they had handed out finnish version, I would be surprised if they were that hard to come by.
