Going International

I've got a program that might be going international, and I have some questions.
Can a Euphoria program work out of the box on, say, a French PC? Say the French PC is running Windows 7. It's basically the same version I'm running (Windows 7, English version), just with a French UI, right? What about Spanish and other languages?
My understand is that all computers everywhere (at least from the "big suppliers") are English-based with language interface packs on top. Is that an accurate assessment?
Many years ago I had some experience with a client somewhere "out there." I found that the data returned from the OS to my program was slightly different than what my English PC returned, so functionality was messed up. Just wondering what I need to consider before going international. Links, opinions, and relevant commentary welcome!
Thanks, y'all!
