Internationalization was not one of the initial goals of my project but it seems clear with the discussions I had with the other developers that complete i18n of the project along with Unicode support would be a big plus ! Right now, my approach is quasi-theoric, as I'm implementing very rudimentory routines to accomplish the most basic tasks. Jaws' i18n routines are, as I'm writing speaking, in a draft stage, as I'm trying to figure out what will be our future needs. You can take a look at include/Jaws/I18n.php and include/Jaws/Module.php to get a big picture of what I've been up to !

I also wanted to mention, Jaws' Trac's encoding is now UTF-8, thanks to Pablo.

Cheers !
