Internationalization and localization of software are the key topics this thesis deals with. Therefore it first analyzes and portrays major differences in culture and language and gives advice about how to deal with these differences when developing internationally usable software. Then it describes some internationalization recommendation for helping to prepare software for easy localization. In this context a standard encoding scheme for international characters and text is explained. Furthermore, an example is provided of how internationalization and localization of software is done by means of a popular existing operating system platform. Finally, some commercial software localization tools and Open Source XML standards are shown making the processes of internationalization and localization easy and efficient.
