But what if you *do* understand the language, but are unable to read it 
because it's not rendered well by default? I would call that poor language 
support, and ask for it to be corrected in the next version of Fedora by 
inclusion of appropriate fonts and language support packages.

I also believe the majority of users find it useful, at least those who have 
spent enough time in school to learn more than one language. So language 
support should be opt-out rather than opt-in. Be happy that at least foreign 
languages are not patent encumbered... ;-)

Best, :-)
