There is POSIX, the IEEE working groups on portable operating systems.  
The POSIX 1003.2 working group has dealt with some of the 
internationalization problems which have been identified.  There are 
several international groups, such as /usr/group and EUUG which are 
helping 1003.2 in the internationalization areas.

ANSI C also deals with some internationalization issues.  ANSI C is
assumed, but not required for POSIX. If you are not aware of these 
two efforts, it might be a good place to start.
