That's a chicken & egg issue; Without apps that support the Elbonian language app stores won't make much in the way of sales to Elbonia and so won't have the cash to invest in Elbonian support/translation resources.
At the end of the day all the app stores need to make enough money to pay their way, so if developers pull out of a country entirely you're actually decreasing the chances of getting help in that country because you'd skip over any stores which target that country specifically, and any app stores you do list with will see it as being a less profitable country to operate in and thus focus less resources on it. As for the crash issue, we use something like http://code.google.com/p/android-remote-stacktrace/ to get a trace and then consider what could have caused it (e.g. if someone's using it on a cheap ARM11 device with a *really* slow clock speed could it be a timeout issue).
