CIT3611 Software Internationalisation

Internationalisation refers to the process of developing programs without prior knowledge of the language, cultural data, or character-encoding schemes that the programs are expected to handle.

In system terms, internationalisation refers to the provision of interfaces that let programs modify their behaviour at run time for operation in a specific language environment.

The mnemonic I18N is frequently used as an abbreviation for internationalisation (there are 18 letters between the I and N).
