Leopard Reference Library: Internationalization
Internationalization is the process of readying software to handle different text systems and locale-specific features. Localization is the process of translating an application's text elements, and adjusting the user interface, for a specific language or region. Cocoa provides APIs to help developers internationalize and localize software. Cocoa also includes utilities to manage locales, dates, and measurement systems in a consistent manner.
