Re: French or German Unicode Names??
Ms. Hughes, ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000, which is exactly correlated with the Unicode Standard, Version 3.0, is available in French. You can purchase a copy from ISO: http://www.iso.ch/ (Go to the ISO Store section of the site and search for the ISO number 10646.) I don't know of any German translation of all the character names. As far as I know, German users of the standard simply make use of the English names of the characters. But you could confirm by contacting the German standards organization, DIN: http://www.din.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Ken Whistler - Begin Included Message - -Original Message- Date/Time:Tue Sep 17 01:20:08 EDT 2002 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Report Type: Other Question, Problem, or Feedback HI, We are trying to find a set of the unicode tables with the character labels in French, and one where they are in German.

Re: French or German Unicode Names??
Not that I have anything against French or German(!), but beware of what you would do with a translation. Translated names are fine as an annotation. Character names are treated as identifiers of abstract characters. They do not necessarily describe the abstract character well, or even properly. You may sometimes misunderstand the semantics and use of a character if you only look at its Unicode name and not at all the annotations and properties defined in the Unicode standard.

Locales at the unicode conference
Those of you that couldn't make the Unicode conference, but want to know about (some of) what transpired, there is a 1 page summary of the Locales-related events on http://www.i18n.com. I have also created a web page, summarizing some of the key points made at the Locales panel discussion. This is available at http://www.i18nguy.com/locales/iuc22-keypoints.html You can also download the pdf version of the presentation What's wrong with locales? and the introductory presentation provided by the panelists for the panel discussion. The URLs for the download are at the bottom of the keypoints page and are listed in the locales resources page: http://www.i18nguy.com/locales/locale-resources.html -- - Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com XenCrafthttp://www.XenCraft.com Making e-Business Work Around the World -
