Think globally, write code locally!Master the expert coding techniques and design guidelines that make it easy—and cost-efficient—to adapt your software for different languages and cultures. INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING FOR MICROSOFT® WINDOWS® demonstrates how to produce high-quality, ready-to-localize editions of your Windows-based programs with the Microsoft Visual C++® development system. From selecting text and graphics for the user interface, to accommodating variations in keyboard layouts, screen orientations, and fonts, you’ll learn how to exploit the built-in internationalization features in the Microsoft Win32® environment—including Windows 2000. Discover how to:• Build your fluency with international character sets and locales, and learn how to use the extensions in Visual C++ for language complexities that standard C and C++ can’t handle alone• Produce faster, smaller applications for the Windows 2000 operating system by writing Unicode-enabled source code• Apply the technique of multibyte character sets (MBCS) on the outside, Unicode on the inside to minimize code page issues in non-Unicode environments• Handle locale-related idiosyncrasies and multiple locales—seamlessly and automatically—using the Win32 National Language Support (NLS) API• Employ the advanced multilingual capabilities in Windows?Multilingual API, Uniscribe, and OpenType—to create applications that dynamically adapt for multilingual data and users• Learn how to intermix the best internationalization features from C, C++, Visual C++, and the Win32 API—understanding benefits and tradeoffs and gaining handy workarounds
