This page summarizes internationalization/locatization related JIRA issues.

I searched in JIRA for unresolved issues that are more or less related to internationalization/locatization. I followed a style similar to bug triage agenda, although no such triage is scheduled, at least for now. I may miss something. Please feel free to add more issues here. I'm updating this list in a future as more issues are added to JIRA. Issues will be removed from the list as they are resolved.

I've listed the issues as groups, but the order of importance/appropriateness.

I'm not including issues that are only related to the viewer internals, because they are more appropriate for the regular bug triage. (Example: VWR-1180 Inappropriate uses of ctype (is*) functions in prevalidate methods for LLLineEditor.)
