Unfortunately our support for cjk and so-called "exotic" languages sucks
right now. Translating the interface into, for example, Korean (whose
fonts we struggle with according to some bugs), while certainly a plus,
isn't all that priority until we can truly support word processing in
these languages (more 'complete' rtl, a common complaint amongst Arabic
users that I usually don't comprehend, proper font detection even given
fontconfig, unicode on win32 is of course a big deal that will be taken
care of by 2.2 afaih, and so on). Andrew, Tomas, even khp &co may be
able to provide insight into these issues, but while the more fe
translation the better, I really don't see it as a top priority for some
of the languages listed UNTIL we can word process with them (at which
time it will definitely be a priority).
