O’Reilly has just updated its O’Reilly book – the latest chapter deals with the localization of applications:
webos programming OReilly on webOS localization

The author describes it as following (get is capitalized by him, not me):


The Palm webOS platform was designed from the beginning to be a world-ready system from the choice of OS technologies through the UI design. While it may take some time to support all languages and regions, and to provide the application content to meet the needs of users in all locales, the framework has the basic support you need to build global applications.

In this chapter, you will GET an overview of the framework’s locale support and learn how to localize your application. We will localize the News application to Spanish and we will walk through each step of the localization process. In the last section, we’ll cover some of the Internationalization APIs available in Mojo.

Users are able to switch languages and regions at runtime using a Language preferences application, shown in Figure 11-1. You are able to select from any of the languages and any of the regions, enabling you to create any locale formed by those combinations.
