“Linux Internationalization Initiative (Li18nux) announced today
that the LI18NUX2000 draft Globalization specification is now
available on the LI18NUX Web site (http://www.li18nux.net) for
public review.”
“The LI18NUX2000 specification includes the best of
Globalization functionality that commercial UNIX systems have
successfully implemented. By conforming to the LI18NUX2000
specification, application programmers will benefit from
UNICODE-based multi-lingual capabilities in a portable manner
across Linux distributions and UNIX systems.“
“Since the LI18NUX2000 v1 specification, targeted to be
available in August 2000, relies only proven and well-defined
internationalization technologies, we believe that Linux
distributions who confirm to the specification can release
internationalized versions within this year,” said Akio Kido,
Co-chair for Asia Pacific Region.
