Summary

Our task is to find out the possible main difficulties that will be encoutered during both design and implementation of the i18n framework.

Main focuses are:

  • state of the Unicode implementation
  • strings usage in Vision2
  • runtime generated/composed strings with variables

String types and their possible extraction difficulties
