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.
