This project explores GNU gettext. The basics are documented in the file internationalization.html.

Speaknumber.tar demonstrates adaptability by localizing spoken numbers into 5 different languages without coding locale dependent information in the Python source code. The bulk of the archive consists of short audio files.

Conform.tar is an extended text formatting library for C++ with a focus on i18n and l10n capabilities. You may first want to refresh your knowledge of templates and container classes, so I also include two revised chapters from my old "C++ in action" tutorials.

Update: As the issue of text directionality is relevant I'm going to merge my R2L (right to left) research into this project: The aim of that is to produce a simple but effective bidirectional terminal emulator.
