Overview

Why develop software for only one market when you could easily create a single version of your source code - and one binary - that works correctly in many languages and cultures? Whether you develop software based on X, Motif, or the new Common Desktop Environment (CDE), this book will show you exactly how to plan and build GUI-based software that easily adapts to different languages and national customs throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. From initial design through product release, you'll learn to: balance portability and functionality, choose among different design approaches, identify potential problem areas, and understand the advantages and limitations of current internationalization tools.
