The "currently" would have been for versions before Frame 8,
which did not use Unicode.  So if you were to upgrade your
Frame 7.2 to 8 (for which sealed-box upgrades should still
be available on eBay), or 9, you would be able to support
Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, including Chinese using ExtB 
(which Frame doesn't display, but which is present).  

We've always supported Russian, Greek, CE, and others, just 
not double-byte (CJK, pre-8) or RTL (Hebrew, Arabic, and 
Farsi, which Frame doesn't support itself either).  We have
as many customers in Europe and the Mideast as in the US.

If you are using Asian languages much, you really should get
at least Frame 8 anyway, since it allows *much* better use
of multiple languages in one document, and supports pretty
much *all* Unicode characters in the BMP (assuming you have 
Unicode fonts that contain them).

HTH!
