This may not be much help but DesignBais has been used to put a web GUI onto non-english apps, including at least one Chinese app which I believe runs over U2. It includes a glossary feature which allows a single application to display localized prompts, help text, etc. I don't know of any studies or white papers done on localization but maybe DesignBais International can hook you up with some client/developers who could share their experience. "Content localization" can mean a lot of things so be sure to define your business strategy clearly so that you can evaluate whether specific tools are in line with your goals. You might have better luck finding information about globalization and localization with regard to software development in general, identify appropriate non-MV tools, and then work out the best connectivity solutions. The .NET Framework and Java both have extensive localization (internationalization (I18N)) support built in, and from there tools like mv.NET, UO.NET, and UOJ can help to make the connection to U2 relatively seamless. Currency translation can be done from U2 by calling a variety of Web Services, either directly from U2 or through one of the above mentioned connectivity tools. So everything that you're asking about is within reach.
