That's true, but none too compelling (to me) because Candle was working
on that when I worked there in 1998! Now arguably IBM sped that process
on to completion, but without knowing all of the facts it is hard to
judge what their contribution was. For the record, doing
internationalization on the Candle products was BRUTALLY difficult
because the product architecture does not lend itself to that. I'm not
very surprised it took 9 years to deliver.
