My multilingual needs are not that much, sometimes officially things are
needed in finnish, swedish, and english but at least they all use latin
characters. There's no problem requiring people to read english material
in universities in Finland, I suspect that is not the case in some
bigger non-english speaking countries or worlds.

Gary Watry's books are a good test for the platform to write our
material I think. Plus code and equations should be easy too.
