Is it safe to use enumerations across interaction boundaries?

Question

I am writing a DLL set that allows other developers to write their own DLL as an extension. In Delphi code, I make extensive use of enums and enum sets. I use enumerations through a DLL. I know that I can safely use enum through DLLs for different projects compiled with Delphi. However, I'm not sure how much it is adapted for different languages.

Is it possible to use enumerations via DLL, supporting other languages? Or should I use it instead of integers?
