這堂演講的主題是寫程式的人該如何撰寫
讓application在轉換語言及使用設定(ex 時間日期格式)時可以輕鬆移植

Design strategies

• Larger Text Fields -> 30% larger is a general rule.

• Avoid Run-time string composition (各國語法不同 )
  

ex:
"are you sure you want to delete file?"
"are you sure you want to delete directory?"
"are you sure you want to delete subdirectory?"

char String[] = "are you sure you want to delete";
char FinalString[] = String + object + "?";

• Avoid reusing resources (指重複相同的名詞但意義上不同會造成翻譯人員的困擾 orz)
  

• Use FORMATMESSAGE instead of wsprintf (避免格式化時data buffer不足)
  

• Use MUI DLLs (multilingual user interface DLLs)

• Use NLS APIs (national language support APIs)

International API
