Comment (by azaozz):

 Perhaps best would be to have several sets of regex there and choose the
 right one by looking at the `lang` setting (or body class/JS var).
 Thinking we can ask the localization teams to come up with the best regex
 for their language.

 Another option would be to make the regex "pluggable". That would give a
 bit more flexibility to localizations but would require outputting a JS
 object with the replacement regex. As of 3.3 this can be done by using
 localize_script() for word-count.js.
