i18n == Internationalization (maybe I should say l10n == localization). This means that to_char functions might lead to different results depending on the i18n settings. For instance, nowadays, select to_char(now(), 'dd-mon-yy') returns 21-dec-05 regardless of the i18n settings. This should lead 21-dic-05 in the es_MX localization. This also applies to the concurrency symbol, thousand separator, etc. (Some time ago I proposed an--incomplete--patch and it was rejectd by Karel arguing that to_char functions should behave *exactly* the same way that they do in Oracle.)
