In this section, we discussed a variety of issues involved in developing software for worldwide use. For all of these areas in which cultural conventions differ from one region to another, the Standard C++ Library provides services that enable you to easily internationalize your C++ programs. These services include:
Formatting and parsing of numbers, currency unit, dates, and time
Handling different alphabets, their character classification, and collation sequences
