As I understand it, the biggest hurdle in *truely*
internationalizing gnome (any X app) is getting the whole X infrastructure
to properly support unicode (iso 10646). AFAIK, xlib which is used by all
X apps to communicate with the X server doesn't support unicode.
So it is a matter to get X understand unicode properly, and then
make gnome/kde/whatever to support that, and finally writing the l10n
(localization) stuff for any local language you want supported.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think glibc does support unicode,
the only major work that remains is X.
