Appendix A. Internationalization
In the book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams describes a world where people can place a "Babel fish" in their ears to instantly understand any language. While the real-life "Babel fish" at sites such as http://translate.google.com, do a fair job of automatic translations, an enterprise application intended for people speaking different languages still has to be translated at least in part by humans.
Even if you are only planning to run your application in one language, read this appendix to see how easy it is to internationalize your application. If you do the internationalization while developing the application, it's easy—if you have to do it later, it's hard.
