Scope

This Technical Report presents the framework and recommended model for internationalization and identifies the services required for the international-ization of information technology. This Technical Report: — discusses the requirements of internationalized systems and their users, — suggests a concerted, unified approach to internationalization, — recommends services to fulfil the requirements, and lists the standards related to the services. This Technical Report is intended to be a reference for future standards on the internationalization of information technology, to act as a communication vehicle between those who provide standards and those who request them, and also to function as a basis for all future ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 20 activities. NOTE 1 This Technical Report does not propose any specific solutions for internationalization. Future standards are expected to provide the solutions, reflecting the directions in this Technical Report. NOTE 2 Internationalization services consist of internationally generic services and nationally specific information (data). This Technical Report covers only the internationally generic portion of software, so it does not discuss: — preparation of internationalized information technology systems for localization by a local user. — hardware-related issues or requirements. — requirements related to system ergonomics. NOTE 3 The internationalization solutions and services available in the mid-late 1980s are the technical basis for this Technical Report.
