portable language package?

Are there portable language packages for portable firefox? From time to time I need to use the computers that I don't have enough authority for it. But there is no appropriate language pack installed on those computers. The result is that some webpages with foreign languages cannot be displayed correctly. I am wondering if there are portable language packages available for portable firefox.

OS Itself

Firefox can be localized with the instructions I have given here:

But some languages, particularly asian languages, require OS-level support for display and the appropriate fonts.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

That requires OS-level support. Firefox would have to implement its own TrueType font renderer (not a trivial task) to get around that issue.
