 entries there(and hardly will have)?
 
 I sujest another approach - to create a tab, only if we have any entry which starts with this letter.
 This will let you to have as many languages, as you want - just encoding them in UTF...
 Also, when you enter new contact, check, if already do have a tab for this letter and create one, if necessary.
 That will also save space on a sidebar, which in case of Russian+English take too much space.

+Note that Evo fetches contacts asynchronously. Adding buttons while
+reading information (especially from remote LDAP server) would be
+awful. Imagine button changing its location when you move mouse
+pointer over it...
+Besides, how are you going to sort these buttons? Collation doesn't
+work very well if you mix characters from different languages. For
+example, Russian "c" (s) looks exactly like English "c", but it's not
+at the begining of the Russian alphabet. Badly sorted buttons would
+confuse users instead of helping them.
