 Multilingual Text Engine Multilingual Text Engine (MLTE) is an application programming interface (API) that allows your application to provide Unicode text editing. MLTE is a Carbon-compliant replacement for TextEdit that offers more features than those in TextEdit-features such as document-wide tabs, full justification of text, support for more than 32 KB of text, built-in scroll bar handling, built-in printing support, support for inline input, support for the advanced font features of Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging (ATSUI), and support for multiple levels of undo.
