Localizing GNU/Linux and XFree86: A Thailand's Experience

Overview This paper summarizes information gathered by the author during localizing GNU/Linux and XFree86 for Thai. It is by no means a complete reference nor a universal guide for all languages. The author just hopes it is useful for other localizers. Internationalization is a practice commonly used for making software adaptable to local cultures without modification. Most of this paper discusses this framework and how to localize the system for new locales.
