applications</h4><p>When you intend to develop NLS-enabled
applications, you need to consider additional initial education. The following
topics are important to learn about:</p>
<ul><li>General globalization concepts</li>
<li>Available globalization support on i5/OS™</li>
<li>Available globalization support on other systems and applications with
which your application operates</li>
<li>Isolation of different parts of an application</li>
<li>Data presentation corresponding to cultural conventions</li>
<li>Design and coding for textual data parts</li>
<li>Translation process</li>
<li>Product and system integration</li>
<li>Packaging, installation, and setup</li>
<li>Product support and maintenance</li>
</ul>
<p>Based on the globalization enabling guidelines, first prepare a prototype
application and test the chosen way of implementing the application for your
specific environment. Afterward include the globalization enabling guidelines
in your general application development processes, guidelines, and standards.</p>

<div class="section" id="rbagsdevelopmentprocess__HDRAPPIMPL"><a name="rbagsdevelopmentprocess__HDRAPPIMPL"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Implementing internationalized applications</h4><p>When
implementing an internationalized application, the most important objective
is to produce only one set of running code. You must differentiate consistently
between running code and textual data. It is essential that you standardize
the chosen approach throughout the whole application. Work with unique and
clearly defined naming conventions. To understand and to maintain this information
in the application, handle parameters called from a program in a consistent
way.</p>
