international classes

Solving the problems of internationalizing your application is a lot easier when you are using the International Classes based on Unicode to develop applications in C++ which are platform independent and truly portable.

JavaSoft licensed the Java version of these classes for use in the Java Developers Kit, JDK 1.1. IBM has used the same architecture (same APIs) for both Java and C++.

Applications written using the International Classes are easily localized by changing simple data files. Program code does not have to be modified because localization is host independent.

To learn more about International Classes for Java and C++, view the International Fact Sheet.
