If I want to deploy my software internationally, what architectural considerations should I consider?

Question

I plan to develop software for the international market.

What architecture decisions should I consider, and not just convert text from one language to another?

Answer 1

There are a huge number of problems, depending on how interested you are in the transition.

• Numbers - both in thousands and in decimal separators. In fact, not all locales use a separator every three digits. And the rules for writing numbers as text, for example, for written checks, vary significantly.
• Currency and Dimensions - not all currencies have two decimal digits . A sign may be leading or ending. A negation indicator can be a sign, brackets, or leading or ending text (for example, "dr" and "cr" are sometimes used in English). Similar problems for measurements (English and metric versus local).
