Locales and Facets
Apress eBooks · 2009
Wide characters are merely one aspect of working with international locales. As you saw in Exploration 17, C++ offers a complicated system to support internationalization and localization of your code. Even if you don’t intend to ship translations of your program in a multitude of languages, you must understand the locale mechanism that C++ uses. Indeed, you have been using it all along because C++ always sends formatted I/O through the locale system. This Exploration will help you understand locales better and make more effective use of them in your programs. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
