For one, it is currently limited to Character  encodings, and limited 
support of Unicode, unless I missed something. There are other aspects 
to consider for several langauges. Support for special input methods, 
bidi support for languages that read right-to-left. Support for 
diacritics and more complex ligatures which suggest on-the-fly 
transformations as data is input. Some of these things are lofty goals 
but are being tackled in other GUI toolkits. CJK languages have their 
own challenges as well.
