Probably same ---
I dont have to make a date printing format to be
"YY/MM/DD" (Japanese style). It is okay to accept
"MM/DD/YY" style, when I am using Japanese.
But, I want to edit a document contains multiple languages,
like mixture of Chinise, Japanese, Korean.
Imagine a book like "World Culture" or "World City Guide" or...
How you edit such book with Linux?
This is what I want to do.
In this case, the biggest problem is, how you input characters.
Displaying characters is not so difficult. You dont need locale,
but just font. But, inputting needs locale.
