Gentelmens!

Are anybody attempted to make true POSIX-style localisation of
386BSD for some language? I find only "C-language frames" for "setlocale"
ans "strcoll" function in c-lib sources and noothing about localisation
in docs. I plans to do the complete implementation of this feature
for Russian language but, it seems to me that somebody in the world
must do something analogous (for some other language, may be)
I could not find something about except of description of function call
in POSIX which is do not complete as my minds (may be I do not have all the
discription) and I well be glad to get the an example of their
implementation or to contact with some person who can explain me how
they must be implemented.
