Greetings.... My organization has asked us to "internationalize" our storage management software. Naturally I thought why not do it in Farsi...this way I learn the technique and if that product ever comes to Iran....then so match the better...
Basically I need some type of a high level hand-holding at this point, sort of "theory of operation" or "concepts" as what are the differing modules of an Internationalized software. My portion of this software is a CLI (command line interface) (aka console app for windows users). This code is to run on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows and is implemented in C/C++. I appreciate some help on this matter... Here are some random qeustions: 1- Would the existing input and output functions (such as iostream or C's I/O libs) continue to work, or do I need to change them? 2- Do I have a resource (or data type) issue, for example 7 bit ASCII vs Unicode. 3- If my program does currently string comparisons (as a CLI parser would do), how do I manage this problem. I though of a "translator module" to maximize reusability of the existing code. 4- Based on my brief reading, there seems to be a diverging set of encoding under various ISO, UTF-8, Unicode, etc....should I just use Unicode or in general what are the design issues in this regard. Anything else that you can think of would be nice...
