+=====================================================
+|phoenix_title|  **writing Non-English Applications**
+=====================================================
+
+This article describes how to write applications that communicate with the
+user in a language other than English. Unfortunately many languages use
+different charsets under Unix and Windows (and other platforms, to make the
+situation even more complicated). These charsets usually differ in so many
+characters that it is impossible to use the same texts under all platforms.
+
+The wxPython library provides a mechanism that helps you avoid distributing
+many identical, only differently encoded, packages with your application
+(e.g. help files and menu items in iso8859-13 and windows-1257). Thanks to
+this mechanism you can, for example, distribute only iso8859-13 data and it
+will be handled transparently under all systems.
+
+Please read the :ref:`Internationalization <internationalization>` page which 
+describes the locales concept.
