Be especially careful about the usage and interpretation of the Latin full stop punctuation, because they will be confused with other punctuations (and sometimes with actual native letters or modifiers for other Latin punctuations) that non-Latin scripts prefer using (notably Armenian and Greek).
As well, simple spaces are interpreted as full stops in some East Asian scripts (except for embedded words borrowed from other scripts), so don't insert extra spaces between "words" or after full stops or any other common punctuation that these scripts use.
