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.
