Hi Lode :
Apple has published a book titled "Guide to Macintosh Software Localization".
It includes topics on :
- What is Localization? (a little silly for this forum :) )
- Macintosh Localization
- Localizing the User Interface
- Handling Worldwide Text
- Macintosh Script Systems (i.e. for different writing systems-languages)
- Cultural Localization
- Primary Languages of the World
- Writing System Specifications
- Localized Macintosh System Software
- Detailed Cultural Hints
- Calendars and Dates
- Macintosh Keyboards
- Macintosh Character sets
- Sorting Orders
- Building and Testing Script Systems
- Programmer's Guide
- Where to Get Help
The above is from the Table of Contents of the book. It is published by
Addison-Wesley. Price : US$24.95 and should be available in bookstore.
You can order it through APDA, e-mail : APDA@applelink.apple.com
ISBN : 0-201-60850-1
Date of Publishing : May 1992
I would also recommend you to read "Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines"
which provides excellent examples on User interface.
ISBN : 0-201-62216-5 November 1992
Price : US$ 29.95 available in bookstore and APDA.
Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Regards,
Kenneth Cheuk
