For example: I have an en.lproj subdirectory in my application bundle which contains all English content. Now, Apple says that users can choose not only a language, but also some kind of dialect too. So we may have here "American English" or "British English". The user might choose American English, and then what happens next? Like I u...
I'm slowly learning how to apply CakePHP's Translate Behavior and I think I've grasped the basics, but I'm working on an existing project with existing data. It's great that Cake will insert new records for me, but I need to manually (I assume) insert a few translations for some existing data. My first question: Do I have to have a rec...

Given a gettext Plural-Forms line, general a few example values for each n. I'd like this feature for the web interface for my site's translators, so that they know which plural form to put where. For example, given: "Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%" "10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2;\n"...

Hi, I am new to MFC and I need to build a multi-language application that should be able to change the language at runtime. AFAIK the common way for internationalization with MFC is to create resource-only DLLs. But there seems to be no simple way (that means, load DLL, call some function, and MFC updates all stuff automatically or som...
I18n/L10n/G11n all equal localization to me, but people keep making distinctions among these, especially in corporate and marketing, but I'm failing to see how these 3 tasks, from the programmer's point of view aren't the same thing, are there special requirements behind each one of these? What is some honest programmer to programmer exp...

Background Users in the US were our application's initial user base, but this has expanded to the point that Canadian, British, and Scandinavian users also use the system.

I'm currently trying to move a web project from a custom i18n system to gettext, however I'll need to prepare HTML::Template::Compiled templates for i18n too and don't know yet how to do it.

What is best practice for the scenario listed below? We have an application which we would like to support multiple currencies. The software will respect the users locale and regional settings to dictate the correct number format, i.e. $10,000.00 or 10.000,00₴ etc. We would however like to be able to format different numbers based upon...
We are developing a site that has a Japanese localization. In that site, we display several dynamic fields using asp:label and such controls. Recently, we were required to display numbers using "double-byte characters". While it first I thought that was a confusion from the client, he sent me this in an email: 1234567890 １２３４５６７８９０ ...
