I am currently reading this book, and I find it a paradox. It has a
very good overview of many of the internationalization issues, with a
well developed example program and its evolution into an internationalized
and localized product. It also has lots of C code that (supposedly) can
be used as the basis of aninternationalization library.

On the other hand I find that the Main example it uses, localizing into
Spanish, has HORRIBLE, BASIC Spanish errors. It also suffers from very
poor editing with some statements that are just plain wrong.

I think it will be an excellent 2nd edition if they fix all those
errors.
