“So how well does CSS actually work with languages other than English?” A thought provoking question brought up by “themaffeo” from a MSDN post.

“Is there a copy of your site in a different language? According to Internetworldstats.com as well as other well documented sources, English is not the only language of the web. In fact, only 36.3% of web users have English as their primary language – yes while all the monkies are screaming that your page might not render correctly to the 8% of users who don’t use IE, over 70% of users have difficulty with you page for a completely different, more basic reason – they don’t speak your language.”
