Sun's I18n Guide is a good start. However, it is based on the old
setlocale model (that was first published in XPG2 1985!). And also,
I think it is a bit biased to Sun platform. A similar model is
presented in "Internationalization Made Easy" by OSF. Depending
on the nature of your application, these docs might work for you.

If your application uses distributed computing or client/server technology,
none of the above docs would be appropriate. I would recommend checking
out "Distributed Internationalization Services" from X/Open. This doc
represents the joint recommendation of the X/Open and UniForum
Internationalization Working Groups.

Good luck!
