By "right part", you mean other languages?

If so, that's (or that was) on purpose given that there is no
guarantee that a serial console can properly display non pure ASCII
characters.

Admitedly, this is an inheritage from the 80's and it could maybe be
wise  to allow at least languages that can be properly displayed with
a Latin-1 charset, when installing through a serial console?
