PHP 4 and 5 hardly support Unicode for localization and internationalization. But this is changing in PHP 6. With the integration of IBM's ICU library into the core of PHP whole new worlds are opened. With ICU as base, PHP will support Unicode and provide functionalities for l10n and i18n. This session discusses Unicode, intriguing implementation choices and introduces the new functionality. It will practically show you how the new features help you to build a multi-language and script application, with correct localization.
