Assuming your isascii() macro from your C library is sufficiently
internationalized, you shouldn't have to change anything but the messages
in the MUD itself.  The problem becomes that clients may have a different
idea of what the character constitutes in their particular character set.
(Character value to screen representation mapping.) I'm not sure I have a
good solution for that, unless you stick to something relatively standard
like UTF-8 (see Unicode).

I read (not write) Spanish, sort of, but not Portuguese.  In a pinch I have
a friend fluent in Spanish (with a little touch of German, Italian, and
French) and another friend very good at French.
