+#summary Controlling i18n (ECMAScript 402) support in V8
+
+= ECMAScript 402 =
+
+V8 optionally implements the
[http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-402/1.0/ ECMAScript 402] API. The
API is enabled by default, but can be turned off at compile time.
+
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+
+The i18n implementation adds a dependency on ICU. If you run
+
+{{{
+make dependencies
+}}}
+
+a suitable version of ICU is checked out into {{{third_party/icu}}}.
+
+
+=== Alternative ICU checkout ===
+
+You can check out the ICU sources at a different location and define the
gyp variable {{{icu_gyp_path}}} to point at the {{{icu.gyp}}} file.
+
+
+=== System ICU ===
+
+Last but not least, you can compile V8 against a version of ICU installed
in your system. To do so, specify the gyp variable {{{use_system_icu=1}}}.
If you also have {{{want_separate_host_toolset}}} enabled, the bundled ICU
will still be compiled to generate the V8 snapshot. The system ICU will
only be used for the target architecture.
+
+
+== Embedding V8 ==
+
+If you embed V8 in your application, but your application itself doesn't
use ICU, you will need to initialize ICU before calling into V8 by
executing:
+
+{{{
+v8::V8::InitializeICU();
+}}}
+
+It is safe to invoke this method if ICU was not compiled in, then it does
nothing.
+
+
+== Compiling without i18n support ===
+
+To build V8 without i18n support use
+
+{{{
+make i18nsupport=off native
+}}}
