Hi James,
FBSL doesn't support Unicode natively but it does support East and West European locale ANSI code pages (like e.g. Russian CP-1251) which are regular parts of respective localized Windows OS distros and downloadable extra language packs. There are no more than 33 glyphs only in a modern Cyrillic alphabet, after all.

I rarely code for Russian users as most of my freelance contracts (for both C/C++ and FBSL) come from the West but when I do need locale dependent resources, I tend to use separate resource-only DLLs to host my strings. They would go by the same IDs in all the DLLs so that my main code would remain untouched for all the target locales I need.
I've yet never had a situation though that anybody would order localized version info or image resources from me. I've no experience with matrioshka and balalaika images in place of crystal balls and banjos.
