Very true

You need the locale files.  The phones will pull them off of any tftp
server.

If you have access to the Cisco software site, you can download the locale
installer for a lot of languages.  You then just have to extract the files
and get them onto your TFTP server and configure the phone to pull the
correct locale.  This will most likely require either SmartNet on the phones
or CallManager.
