As a developer, you belong to an international community. Whatever your nation, you share
with other developers the problems of adapting software and applications for your own culture
and others. Accommodating the needs of users in different cultures is called localization;
making software easily localized is called internationalization.

Tools.h++ is made in the United States. It is internationalized in the sense that it provides the
framework you need to localize fundamental aspects of different cultures, such as alphabets,
languages, currencies, numbers, and date- and time-keeping notations. With Tools.h++, you
write a single application you can ship to any country. When your application is executed, it
will be able to process times, dates, strings, and currency in the native format.

While some aspects of internationalization are limited, a useful feature of Tools.h++ is that it
imposes no policy. Tools.h++ gives you the freedom and flexibility to design your application
to meet the needs of your clients' cultures and your own.
