I did a small presentation on the subject of internationalization (zipped powerpoint). Definitions, Unicode, the ISO-8859 alphabet soup, the Windows encodings and more are touched upon. The presentation itself is light on details, but the comments tell you more. I plan on doing a second part in the future. Stay tuned.
