+1

Also, if you *do* do legitimate business with speakers (or more to the point, writers) of other languages, why not just feed the ham/spam through the filter to train it?

There's an article on Pierre Palats' "Scratchpad" about automatic detection of mail moved to/from the Spam folder:

Now your Chinese-speaking staff can do the job of training the filter themselves, without having to worry about the process of training the filter.

Enjoy
