Yes, Java support UTF-8 in their Java lang spec - one of their selling
points when it came out, which luckily did not catch on too much.
I did have to do a consultancy gig once where they used Portuguese words
and accents in the code....veery hard to debug :)
On the subject of translating code generated comments then I would say
we shouldn't, it is simply too much work and we risk the examples
to go out of sync. It is more important that the code example runs/works
than its comments are in a localized language.
