Indeed, the core of internationalization is handling text.   However, 
there is much more to it than that.  When I have internationalized 
applications, I've had to deal with timezones, time date formats, 
addresses, phone numbers, currency, measurement units, icons, sound 
files, etc...  Additionally, there are sometimes cultural specific 
issues to deal with.  For example, Japanese workers tend to share an 
office so they don't like sound effects in their applications.
