I would imagine that ctakes would run fine on a non-english OS
configuration... java is supposed to be good at taking care of that (of
course, unless we introduce internationalized strings, it'd remain in
english). I agree with James that the best guess is processing non-English
text. UMLS has some non-English language dictionaries, but I suspect that
some of the components wouldn't internationalize very well in some cases
(i.e. RTL languages in general, LVG, smoking status, maybe the POS tagger,
maybe even the tokenizer, etc).
