Multibyte locale for single byte languages

摘要

A development suite for developing and testing internationalized software includes, in addition to an ASCII English locale, a multibyte English locale. The presence of a multibyte English locale permits early discovery and correction of errors by English speaking developers which would otherwise only be found during localization of the software for a country where a multibyte representation was required. A system and a computer program product also utilize a multibyte English locale.
