Successful globalized applications can process text in any language, and accommodate multiple languages and complex text.
Executive overview
"A successful global application must process text written in any language. In some cases, applications must even be able to process text written in more than one language. Many techniques that work well when processing English text will not work when processing languages like Arabic, Hindi and Thai. In this article, we will examine some reasons why processing multiple languages is more complicated, and then we'll look at the techniques needed to process them."
