• Apple Localization Tools: FMAT Editor

  ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Localization_Tools/FMAT_Editor.sit.hqx
  This ResEdit editor lets you prepare localized number format descriptions that you can use in conjunction with the number formatting routines provided by the Macintosh Text Utilities. Using localized number format descriptions doesn't give you all the flexibility provided by the approach in "International Number Formatting" in Develop 16, but if you know that your application will only have to work with system software localized for the same language, it's usually adequate. And this ResEdit editor is certainly the nicest way to create the localized resources.
