Multilingual Application Interface for Telematic Services
MAITS is a consortium formed to specify an Applications
Programming Interface (API) for multilingual applications in the
telematic services. A number of telematic applications, such
as X.500, WWW, X.400, internet mail and data bases, is planned to
be enhanced to use this i18n API and products are planned to
be implemented using the API. MAITS has been approved for funding
under the CEC 4th framework programme.
