This chapter assumes familiarity with the following terms.
Note: | A coded character set is sometimes referred to as a code page or code set. For the purposes of this chapter these terms are synonymous. |
Note: | Internationalization is referred to as NL-enablement or NLS-enablement. An internationalized application is often termed NLS-enabled. |
Note: | A country might, but does not necessarily, identify a particular locale. For example, Canada supports two distinct locales: French Canada and English Canada. Simply knowing that an application is destined for Canada is insufficient. |
