In this project, we're not building anything terribly fancy yet. Think of this as a "getting your hands wet" project. What we will be doing is working through various examples of localization and globalization.
The app will support several localizations: English (American and British) and Spanish (American and Spain). We can support any number of languages. For example, we could have used just French or added French to the list of existing languages. The point here is to show you how the mechanisms work and how you can apply them to future projects.
When you've completed this project, you'll have been introduced to several important ideas. You'll be able to create a new project by using an existing template, you'll be introduced to YASMF v0.4 (the framework we're using for this book), and most importantly, you'll have a good idea about how to localize text and numbers.
