Internationalization

As explained in Modern C, Third Edition

Internationalization is the capability of software or a platform to accommodate multiple languages, scripts, and cultural or technical conventions.

How Modern C, Third Edition covers it

How deep it goes

Defines the scope and separates source conventions from user-interface language support, but does not develop implementation mechanics.

Examples

Uses French identifiers and comments, Unicode escapes, and alternate representations of accented, Korean, and Greek characters.

What it assumes

Assumes familiarity with programming source code while distinguishing coding-language choice from user-facing language support.

What you can do after

Evaluate how language, script, and specialized notation affect source-code conventions beyond English.

How it connects

Connects internationalization with Unicode, scripts, language conventions, subcultures, mathematical notation, and IPA phonetics.
