Rosette White Paper
A white paper that explains the background, concepts and features of the Rosette library, as well as the intricacies of software translation. The white paper is in Adobe Acrobat format.

Rosette derives from our experience, over the years, in developing and maintaining internationalized software. We have worked with many of the off-the-shelf solutions for internationalized software —we feel that Rosette has important advantages over the alternatives and that it strikes the right balance between features and complexity. The design choices are explained in the white paper.
