Amanda,
Apparently we see two different pictures. I don’t appreciate it, but I have no 
problems with your position; you like to see what you want to see. I don't know 
Armenian either, but I hope some of the languages you can correlate to. I know Russian 
and my browser has no Cyrillic font, but I can assure you I see very much Russian 
text. HOW??? And forget about internationalization, check some other features of 
server-side content presentation. And please, get some information about XSLT, CSS, 
server-side processing, etc. before making very strong and very wrong conclusions.

Peter
