Greek & Russian are fairly easy - they're at least ISO-8859.
Icelandic too.
Now Chinese/Japanese/other double-byte Unicode languages
- *that's* where life gets interesting.
Although I don't know what CF's support is (nor PHP -
the only language I know for certain is recent versions of
Perl which has Unicode support)
Cheers
