Overview

This chapter reviews the concepts of internationalization (I18N). For more detailed information, we recommend Chapter 11 of the OSF Motif Programmer's Guide, Release 1.2 . For additional documentation on the underlying X and Xt support for localized applications, refer to Chapters 10 and 11 of the XLib Programming Manual from O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
