I always thought that Multilingualization was harder than
Internationalization.

With I18N you can claim success if you can convert an entire application
to another language (typically by switching to different code pages).
Some of the arabic languages are a challenge because the read right to
left, but it is fairly easy to handle just by pulling the hardcoded
strings out of the application.

M17N is harder because it implies the ability to mix languages, so that
in a line of English text you could embed Japanese or Arabic and not
have it come out looking like line noise. Needless to say, not much
software can meet this challenge right now. When I inadvertently visit
the Japanese Ruby pages, all I see is line noise or the form
