PGP and Foreign Languages

I've been browsing around a little bit and haven't been able to find information on this.

I read a one line anecdote that said that foreign languages would come out a little scrambled on the other side. can anyone confirm/deny this? If so, anyway around it?

I don't see how that could be a thing. PGP doesn't care about format or language or encoding, it's a whatever in whatever out kind of thing. Since all it does is takes what you've typed and scrambles it the correct way there's no way for the content to actually get so when you decrypt it it will show exactly as it was originally.

Picture it lie this, you want to send the word yes in 3 different languages. If pgps encryption rule is that every letter moves for forward one "yes" would be encrypted as "zft" and, "si" would be encrypted as "tj", and "oui" (french) would be encrypted "pvj". That's a very very simplified version of how pgp does its encryption, hope this cleared it up a bit!

Not possible. it simply encrypts and decrypts the plain text... it doesn't read it in any way... I think you're failing to understand how this works

Not that I have seen and I write in Hebrew, which doesn't even use Roman characters.
