I18N
From APIDesign
Has internationalization any relation to API design? That is a question a curious reader of TheAPIBook asked recently. Here is my take on that.
Localization Team
The team developing NetBeans realized that while I18N is responsibility of developers, the actual L10N (e.g. localization) is a task for completely different group. The localizators. The communication between these two groups fulfills all aspects of an API: TBD.
