and localization</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>You need to take internationalization concerns into account as early

as possible when designing your application. This section describes internationalization

and localization, including:</p>

<ul>

<li><p><xref href="GUID-457CC544-EC3B-4863-A5C4-DC7046614929.dita">Locale-sensitive

data types</xref></p>

</li>

<li><p><xref href="GUID-9EA7B72B-8394-48B8-A0CC-4BB34CBDB01C.dita">UI text

strings</xref></p>

UI text localization</xref></p>

</li>

</ul>

<p>When localizing your application, there are two different concerns that

you need to manage in your project. These are as follows:</p>

<ul>

<li><p>Date, Times, Currency, and other locale-sensitive data types</p>

</li>

<li><p>UI text strings</p></li>

</ul>
