I am not sure that this is the best venue for this question, but I wanted to find out if the algorithms are written only for English at this point? Or better yet as Wikipedia puts it, American Soundex...I am just wondering how effective the algo would be applied to other languages and if there is no support, if there is a plan at this point.

To my knowledge, the algorithms are written against English.

There are no plans for enhancements, but contributions would be welcomed.
