Recovered OpenI18N/Li18nux site

NOTICE

This site is a copy of the OpenI18N (aka Li18nux) site (former www.openi18n.org and www.li18nux.org) around 2003, recovered from the Internet Archive. This site is restored for your reference only, and no new contents are added.

Due to some limitations, not all files are restored (there are dead links). Sorry for your inconvenence.

Li18nux (Linux Internationalization Initiative) was founded in 1999 to achieve software/application portability and interoperability in the International context for Linux and other open source projects.

In 2001, L18nux and LSB (Linux Standard Base) incorparated under the name of Free Standards Group (FSG). FSG later joined with OSDL to form the Linux Foundation.

Some of the deliverables of the OpenI18N project are:

• LI18NUX 2000 Globalization Specification version 1.0 Amendment 4 (aka OpenI18N 1.2)
• OpenI18N Globalization Specification 1.3
• OpenI18N Locale Name Guideline

Some of the Japanese localization (L10N) documents I'd uploaded personally and were publicly available at that time are:

• UI-OSF Application Platform Profile for Japanese Environment version 1.1 and its original Japanese document UI-OSF 日本語環境実装規約 version 1.1, which includes the definition of the Japanese EUC encoding scheme (EUC-JP) in Annex C (Definition and Notes of Japanese EUC in English and UI-OSF共通日本語EUC in Japanese).
• Japanese locale definition (日本語ロケールの定義) [tar.gz format] developed by UI-OSF Japanese Localization Group (the organization which created the above document).
• Deliverables of OSF/JVC (later TOG/JVC) CDE/Motif Technical Working Group (CDE/Motif 技術検討 WG):
  • Problems and Solutions for Unicode and User/Vendor Defined Characters (original Japanense: Unicodeとユーザ定義文字・ベンダ定義文字に関する問題点と解決策) which includes the original definition of EUC-JP to Unicode conversion rules (eucJP-ms, eucJP-open, etc.)
  • Code Set Conversion between SJIS and eucJP and its original Japanese document: 日本語 EUC とシフト JIS との間のコード変換規則
  • Result of Survey on Japanese Code Sets (original Japanese: 各社のコード系調査結果)

Again, all contents listed above and included here are of historical interests, and no longer effective for actual use. I hope these contents are useful for some interested people.
