Yes! When non-European people talk about internationalization,
they often talk about displaying and inputing their native character,
such as Kanji, Hangul, Cyrillic, Thai, and so on. A window manager
is a software on which many softwares run. Thus a window manager
which cannot display native characters avoids many softwares (which
are internationalized --- Netscape is an example) to work well.
Thus I support Atsuhito Kohda's idea to add points to "internationalized"
window managers which can display native characters.
Please read a document on internationalization which is found in
DDP (Debian Documentation Project) web page.
