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.
