I have a user who seems to get 4-5 messages per day with Chinese

Chinese speaking people.
If I paste them into Google Translate they seem to be roughly the same
kind of junk as our English spam: "work from home", "buy our drugs",
etc. The handful that I looked at closely had scores of 2.0-3.0.
Are there existing SpamAssassin rules that work on non english
characters? Is there maybe something extra I should enable or install
that would score these higher?
I'm sorry if it's an ignorant question, but the issue hasn't really come
up here before.
I you can set user preferences:
(you may even want this as site wide)
ok_locales en
this will add some points to the "foreign languages"
"Western" languages are not affected although the docs say "(only allow
English)" but that should be corrected - further down:
"en - Western character sets in general"
