If your native language is not English, you are far more likely than English speakers to confront internationalization issues from day 1.

I would say that if you aren't in english speaking North America then you are going to have to deal with internationalization. :-) In the UK it can be a pain as well. Not as drastic as being in China I suppose but still.

BTW: I privately chuckle every time I think about North America renumbering to 11 or 12 digit phone numbers. Y2k was nothing! :-)
