 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
