Dr. International could probably go on and on forever about what interests him, but what he needs to
know is what interests you. So please send your internationalization/localization questions for which you have been unable to find [good] answers and which you would like to see in a future column via Ask Dr. International form.
To serve you better, Dr. International may need the following information:
| • | The version and language of the OS you are using. | | • | The version and language of the applications you are using. | | • | The kind of a problem you have - is it a globalization, localization or localizability question. | | • | Which tools you are currently using to resolve the problem (programming languages, scripting technologies, etc.) |
