In today’s wired world, software must work for a global audience. International Programming for Microsoft Windows compiles hard-to-find information on internationalizing software using C, C++, and Windows 2000. If you’re a developer or manager planning international software development, this book can show you how to take your software to new markets successfully.
The heart of this book is its extensive material on the international features and Unicode available in Windows 2000, which comes with support for dozens of languages. (This text shows how Windows supports both non-Unicode and Unicode character sets with two sets of APIs for all text functions.) The book highlights features in Windows 2000 that facilitate a truly global perspective. A standout here is the custom locale-browser used to view international Registry information. Several programming strategies are also outlined to make sure code can be adapted to local conditions easily–because you’ll never know where today’s markets can take you.
