The Draft C++ Standard is quite well-equipped with internationalization support. Consult Clauses 22 and 27 of the latest draft working paper <http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/sep95/>. [By the way: the sep95 draft is not for quoting -- it is just a working copy subject to sometimes radical change, not a standard.] It is not yet described in books because it is too new, and not yet implemented in publicly available products.
