Languages that use the Roman alphabet (most Western European languages except Greek) are generally pretty easy to handle.
Non-Roman, left-to-right, alphabetic languages (eg Greek, Russian) are pretty straightforward on devices which allow you to install the appropriate viewing font (eg CyBook Gen3) or embed the font in the document (LRF, PDF).
Non-Roman, "multi-byte character" left-to-right languages (eg Chinese, Korean) generally fall into the same category as the above - you need to be able to either install or embed the font.
Right-to-left languages (primarily the Semitic language group - Arabic, Hebrew, etc) are a problem. The only format I'm aware of which supports them is PDF and again the correct fonts need to be embedded in the document.
