Description

Some locales such as Arabic or Japanese aren't supported in the League client so they appear as blocks. Currently those languages revert to English in game. If there are any others that have the same issue, please list them here.

Research direction
Investigate the locale files used by Championify to detect which locales are not supported by the League client. Review the code that handles locale fallback to English. Check for any existing font handling or CSS that might cause blocks. Consider adding support for Arabic and Japanese by either including appropriate fonts or using Unicode fallback. Look at comments from users listing other affected locales.
