[EAS] Need new excuses for multilingual support with global supply chain

All of this is a moot point if the alert originators can't do 
multi-lingual.  Getting software and protocol support is just part of 
the picture.  Same thing with all of the g-wiz features we are promised 
in ATSC3.0.  I don't see our OEM supporting those new features anytime 
soon.  I doubt we are the only state/jurisdiction in that position.  And 
funding priorities are no doubt different if you live somewhere that has 
an almost guaranteed hurricane or tornado landfall every year or two.  
Some will have the resources to originate multi-lingual alerts and/or 
the multi-media g-wiz stuff with ATSC3, and that is great for their 
citizens.  Other jurisdictions are going to find other places to put 
their limited resources.
