“OpenI18N is a workgroup of the Free Standards Group with the goal to propose and coordinate any techniques, conventions, guidelines and activities within the open-source community. The scope of OpenI18N is focused on software/application portability and interoperability in the international context. This workgroup aims to provide a common open-source environment where applications can be executed and behave correctly worldwide, with different scripts, cultures and languages.”

“Usually, programs are written and documented in English, and use English at execution time for interacting with users. This is true not only from within GNU, but also in a great deal of commercial and free software. Using a common language is quite handy for communication between developers, maintainers and users from all countries. On the other hand, most people are less comfortable with English than with their own native language, and would rather be using their mother tongue for day to day's work, as far as possible. Many would simply love seeing their computer screen showing a lot less of English, and far more of their own language.

“The XFree86 Project, Inc is the organization which produces XFree86™, a freely redistributeable open-source implementation of X11 or the X Window System. XFree86 runs primarily on UNIX® and UNIX-like operating systems such as Linux, all of the BSD variants, Sun Solaris x86, Mac OS X (via Darwin), as well as other platforms like OS/2 and Cygwin.

“FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images). It can be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products as well.. Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g. colored text rendering, "hollowing", etc..). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform interface to access the content of font files.

Khmer UFT-8 Unicode can be compressed to 1-byte-per-character.

“The goal of this project is to create a Linux distribution that supports Indian Languages from a GUI/Application level as well as Kernel level.“

“We create open-source infrastructural code, and provide technical documentation on Indian language computing issues. Our mailing lists provide forums where Indian language computing can be discussed. Indian language computing has yet to make a impact on the vast majority of the people living in the Indian subcontinent. There appear to be seven major factors hindering the adoption of computing in the subcontinent — these are examined in greater detail in our "Design Axes" paper.

“Graphite is a project under development within SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative and Language Software Development groups to provide rendering capabilities for complex non-Roman writing systems on the Windows platform. (Work began in 1997 under the code name WinRend.) Graphite can be used to create "smart fonts" capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. With respect to the Text Encoding Model, Graphite handles the "Rendering" aspect of writing system implementation.

SILA is a Mozilla development effort supported by UNESCO and SIL International. It is a key component of a joint project between UNESCO and SIL being carried out within the framework of UNESCO's Initiative B@bel and SIL's Non-Roman Script Initiative. Initiative B@bel seeks to provide wider more equitable access to information content and services on the Internet for all users, (particularly developing countries and those in transition) by promoting linguistic diversity in cyberspace and using information and communication technologies (ICTs), to protect and preserve endangered languages. The development of technologies which enable minority language communities to publish on the Internet is a substantial contribution to this effort. Many language communities in the world today are not able to participate in the information age because their language cannot be implemented on today's computer systems. This causes a "digital divide". The goal of this project is to help eliminate this divide by designing and producing freely available software for these language communities.
