Hi all,
does anyone know how to allow cyrillic and other languages in Squeak 4.5?

I have no personal knowledge in this area, but I know that cyrillic fonts have been supported in various Squeak versions, and I would expect that this should be possible in the latest Squeak releases also. Try googling "squeak cyrillic fonts", follow a few links and see if it helps.

When importing a TTF font we only import the latin glyphs to save space. I’m not exactly sure where in the code that is, but by adding the cyrillic code points it should just work. All the machinery is there.
Also, Nicolay’s Крестьянство SDK supports cyrillic fonts:

I istalled Free Type Plus like it was said in http://www.nat-geo.ru/planet/193798-posledniy-den-palmiry but nothing change. Then I load fonts with cyrillic support http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Download and https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts. I changed system fonts and all works well. I can see, the only problem is lack of needed fonts, so why the developers do not include them in the production image or at least distribute them with it? Smalltalk is excellent for child teaching but it is not good for children to study programming with ???? marks and installing fonts ;-)

Maybe you can help by being a developer too :-) If you have knowledge of the subject, and an iterest in making improvements, then your help will be welcome.

Of course, it is why I am here. I like Squeak and wish to help as much as I can. I would like to use it in our University and therefore we need some internationalization .
