Use an explicit mutually-exclusive dichotomy, e.g.

either

a. Version for use in the USA
b. Version for use outside the USA

or

a. English language version
b. Version for languages other than English

according to which is meant. Further subdivisions would be needed if 
different versions exist for different versions of English, or other 
specific languages..
