My memory failed me in remembering this post, but it was exactly this terminal style that has the messages in various languages. The difference on the one here is there is no dragon and the English sign has the UK flag. There was definitely Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, and French (with the EU flag). We're here Monday and Tuesday, so I should have some extra time to go back and take a photo.

Please don't get me wrong. It's just for the sake of discussion.
Probably it's for reasons JEFFJAGUAR outlined about doing things their own way, but I really don't have a good answer for you. It's possible the payment processors in the country don't support it?
