Internationalization Articles and References

Java was designed to support internationalization—its primitive character type is based on Unicode, which is an international standard for encoding written language elements. The Microsoft SDK for Java enhances the internationalization features of Java with support for local character set encoding, Microsoft® Win32® resources, locales, vertical writing, and Java-based input method editors (IMEs).

Articles
