In the Western games, the language of the message is stored internally, so that if it is traded to a player in a different language game, the Mail can still be read using the correct {{gdis|character encoding|II}}; however, the English version of Pokémon Gold and Silver ignore this value, instead trying to render the message using the English character encoding, which lacks several characters that can be typed in other languages. (Trading is not supported between Japanese, Korean, and Western language games, so this is only relevant when trading between Western languages.)
[[Game Boy Printer#Mail|Printing mail is supported]] except in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases, which also warn the player on the touch screen to not include offensive material in Mail when they attempt to enter the Trade Center.
