Preparing a web site for international usage

I am preparing to develop a web application that will (hopefully) be used by an audience with many different native languages.

What should I do to prepar开发者_如何学编程e my software project to have the user interface be almost entirely internationalized?

Are there any software stacks that make this easier?

There are some resources you might want to see:

• http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/
• http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/internationalization/
• http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter18/

Python's gettext and locale module might also be useful.

One big change in your project: you need to build in time to localize your strings. Depending on your schedules, you may have to rearrange work so that all the string-changing work is at the front so that you have time to get the translations done before launching.

Or, alternately, you have to build in a buffer at the end to account for it.
