Of course. But complete support for one's desired language is one
thing, and the ability to display a foreign language is another.

If a few words in a foreign script appear on a web page or in an email,
then I want to see them. Even if I can't read a word in that language,
I still prefer to see the characters rather than a string of boxes.

I think a typical desktop system should have at least one font installed
for every language on Earth (and an ability to remove some of them if
the user needs the space for other things). Complete language support
should be installed only for the user's one or two preferred languages.
The latter would include GUI translations, documentation, dictionaries,
a wider selection of fonts, et cetera.
