Consider usage of CSS3's [[ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-emphasis | text-emphasis ]] instead of italics in UI elements for languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
Also make sure that italics usage isn't negatively impacting users of these native languages.

Italics is not a traditional way to emphasize in Chinese. The difference in Chinese is less obvious to me. From this discussion on Zhihu (Chinese Quora), it seems most designers thinks italicized Chinese is very ugly...
Traditionally people use dot under the characters to emphasize, but very few people use it now. See https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E7%9D%80%E9%87%8D%E5%8F%B7
This discussion and this article suggest using a different font to emphasize a piece of message. For example:
This task has been assigned to the same task owner for more than two years. Resetting task assignee due to inactivity, to decrease task cookie-licking and to get a slightly more realistic overview of plans. Please feel free to assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically work or plan to work on this task - it would be welcome!
For tips how to manage individual work in Phabricator (noisy notifications, lists of task, etc.), see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T228575#6237124 for available options.
(For the records, two emails were sent to assignee addresses before resetting assignees. See T228575 for more info and for potential feedback. Thanks!)
