Press Release Body = Being online means being international. When you have a website, you website is viewable to all the people all around the world. That means there are some people who are not familiar with your language might be viewing your website.
Some people also prefer to put their website in a certain language as their target visitors are country specific. This may raise a problem for some people. Why? Because most of the web hosting providers around the world operate in English language.
It is assumed that if the main website of the web hosting provider is in English than people can only have English characters as the website content. It is assumed that languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Greek, etc are considered not supported in the web hosting and thus web pages will not able to display those languages.
