A fun example I had to deal with was a big site which processed lots of terribly formatted data to build its content. One particular rule for processing incoming data relied on breaking a big blob of text into very specific fields based on where capital letters fell.
We had made a point of asking before the project if regionalisation was ever going to be an issue and no, it would only ever be in English. Shortly after go live we were asked to regionalise everything into Chinese.
I'm still not sure what a capital letter looks like in Chinese.
