Message-ID: Date: 10 Jan 91 23:19:51 GMT Sender: news@pa.dec.com (News) Organization: DEC Western Software Lab Lines: 18 X-Checksum-Snefru: af529486 82cb4f7f 4d7dce0f 67fcadcc This may not be the best newsgroup for this, if not then please let me know which would be more appropriate. Has anyone here done programming where the user-interface language is Japanese? I have a program I'd like to convert to be usable by a Japanese person. I *think* the only area that'll cause problems is that characters take 2 or 4 bytes each (I forget which). I guess this would fall under a more general topic of "international" programming. Can someone recommend a book, paper etc. that can give any pointers on how to deal with this? Thanks.
