Many thanks! It's Chapter 8 of the Debian Developer's Reference, and is  
concerned primarily, not surprisingly, with matters (especially  
translation of text within applications) of interest to developers; I'm  
not likely to become a developer, though.

However, it did give a link to what looks like a remarkable document by  
Tomohiro Kubota, an intro. to i18n, with Debian orientation (that last is  
also welcome):

<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/>

Thanks, kindly!
