I'm a lurker here, but I've gotten involved in a discussion over
in sci.lang.translation about the general usefulness of unixes,
specifically linux, in relation to translation and translation
memory tools.
I seem to remember that the linux kernel point of view
is that the kernel doesn't need to know about multibyte
character sets (just staying out of the way and not disturbing
the data stream is sufficient). The only exception seems to be
eventual support for multibyte characters in file names, but
at present it looks like this would break the posixness of ext2.
Is this summary basically correct? Could a kind soul perhaps
point me in the direction of useful information sources?
