Yes, we do.
And Sun does support and have quite good interntaionalization at
the OS and also upper layers due to Sun has "Globalization Big Rule"
within the company which mandates: all software has to be internationalized
and then localized based on market requirement (for localization).
Naturally, thus, majority of OS code are properly internationalized
and pretty much all necessary messages have been gettext'nized,
in other words, they are surrounded with gettext(3C) and the messages
are extracted by using xgettext(1) command during the build of OS
and so on.
If you find any code that is not properly internationalized, if you could
provide info, contribution, further discussion on that, or all of them, that
will be really great. In addition to this mailing list and OS community,
OS.o also has Internationalization (I18N) & Localization (L10N) community
that can also be an appropriate forum to discuss about such issues and
the community web page and the discussion mailing lists are available at
the following:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/int_localization/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/int_localization/discussions/
I also extracted translatable messages and other localizable files from
the opensolaris-src-20050928 and placed the translatable files as shown
at the following (as a bzip2 compressed tar file) to give some initial info and
also some head starts hopefully for the langauge groups where there is no
translations provided with Solaris yet:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/int_localization/tmp/
I also believe OS community folks are currently working on to provide
such translatable files regularly to the I18N & L10N community where
we have language groups who will do the actual translation and other
localization activities to support various languages. For that, we are also
trying to open source our translated message files and other localized
files so that OS.o I18N and L10N community members can utilize and
reuse as much as possible such existing translated messages. (Sun at
the moment supplies English, Frech, German, Italian, Spanish,
Swedish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
translations with Solaris. I think OS.o I18N & L10N community can do
more such as Czech, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Tamil,
Vietanamese, and so on and your possible help and contribution on that
area will also be greately appreciated too!)
