Internationalizing UNIX* Software Projects
Randall J. Scheer · AT&T Technical Journal · 1995
AT&T's international products are providing interfaces using the customer's own language and cultural conventions. Providing internationalized systems that support the conventions of a country, its language, and culture can provide a competitive advantage. Identifying customer needs and developing the internationalization architecture at the beginning of a project cuts life-cycle costs associated with internationalization. This paper describes the problems and issues of cost-effectively producing internationalized software products that run under the UNIX∗operating system, although this discussion is applicable to other operating systems.
