Subject:
Internationalized vs. localized
A good way of not getting the two confused is this: Imagine you've sent a letter addressed to a contact. A letter with an "Internationalized" address (in ASCII) can be read and delivered by any mailman in the world. A letter with a "Localized" address (in full UTF-8) can only be read by mailmen who can read the local script. --------------------------------------- Julian Mack Developer Poptel Ltd.
