Hi Tobias, SWORD + ICU integration offers more than just i18n support. It can provide on-the-fly transliteration support (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic to roman script or IPA), it can provide a Unicode aware regex parser, and I am sure other things I am forgetting.
Yes, I think we already have what you are suggesting: if ICU is not available at build time, then i18n support falls back to use the new toUpper map impl for StringMgr, so I would say we do work much better if ICU is not available at build time. Thanks for the report that you've found it working well!
