4.1.15Writing Software for the International Market

Internationalization (often called I18N) is the process of designing or adapting programs to interact with users in their own language and to reflect the culture of the user’s region.

The Writing Software for the International Market manual provides an overview of internationalization concepts. It also provides details about writing internationalized programs, creating and using message catalogs, and developing or customizing locales.

The following topics are among those discussed:

•Developing internationalized software

•Creating and using message catalogs

•Handling wide-character data with curses routines

•Creating internationalized X, Xt, and Motif applications

•Using internationalized software

•Creating locales

•Setting up and using user-defined character databases

•Setting up and using the Chinese phrase input method

•Using DECterm localization features in programs

Also included is a summary of worldwide portability interfaces (WPI) that are defined by Version 5 of the X/Open CAE specification for system interfaces and headers (XSH), and sample locale source files.

This manual is for programmers developing internationalized applications for the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
