Internationalization

Internationalization is the process of designing software to accommodate multiple locales and creating user-interface content that is easy to localize. The Cocoa frameworks in Mac OS X do much of the internationalization work of developers for them. Mac OS X services in Carbon, Cocoa, and Core Foundation help developers internationalize their software and manage locales in a consistent manner.
