Seamless language support in GNU-Linux

I have been handed a text translated in Bulgarian to include in a layout. The file has been saved in the Microsoft Word format. The localized version of Microsoft XP didn’t quite like having to deal with a shortcut including cyrillic characters. In simple words, you can’t double-click on the file icon to open it, you have to go through Microsoft Word’s menu file > open.

On GNU/Linux? I double-clicked on the icon and it seamlessly opened it without complaining.
