gettext is portable to Windows, I have done it.
If anyone wants I can send the .NET sources.

Also 'iconv' is ported to Windows, so charset translation
doesn not need to be done in SWORD. Again I have the .NET
files if they would help.

From the design point of view of a language, i18n should be an after thought
unless you have built in strings (and even in java they're a class) with the exception of making sure your character types are able to hold Unicode bytes instead of just ASCII. Also I can think of at least two good tool kits/libraries for doing localization and internationalization of programs. gettext which lots of gtk (straight C) based programs use, and qt's (C++) built in internationalization stuff. So there *is* support, it's not not necessarily wide spread because I'm not sure how windows handles it. But in terms of i18n or being able to internationalize or localize a program that should be up to the programmer on how to do it, not the language since different programs have different needs.
