The public review draft of the C++ standard has a whole chapter devoted to
a localization library. The entire standard is online at:

http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/index.html

among other places (you can find more sites using Yahoo or other indices).

See chapters 21 and 22.

Of course, you may have a hard time finding an implementation of these
parts of the library right now.
