internationalization

Internationalization, also called i18n, where 18 stands for the 18 letters between the i and final n, refers to subject of writing program fit to be localized into another locale. Localization, in turn, is the process of actually making a program ready for use in a given locale.

Description

Tcl/Tk is an excellent base for i18n, with Unicode, encoding support, and Tk's automatic font finding. In another take at localization (l10n), the community has collected a number of translations of the constitutional Tcl man page - see Endekalogue.
