I just bought a book SW Internationalization and Localization by Uren et al and
studied a little bit about he topic.  In Chapter4, it talks about three
different design issues:
1) Compile-time Internationalization
2) Run-time internationalization
3) Link-time internationalization.
One comment in the book indicates that large UNIX houses tend to use run-time
language binding.

I'd like to know a little more about the differences as well as the advantages
and disadvantanges among the three. Could anyone, who is familiar with the
topic give some help? Thanks in advance.
