Being the first of these, here are my needs :
1) ability to receive from the software editor only one package
with no external data to include in it for L10N or I18N. This is
a SysAdmin's point of view
2) ability to use a software in a language/alphabet with
someone else and then leave this person alone using the
same software in same session with another language/alphabet.
This is a user's point of view
example for case 2: a engineer from my company travels to China,
Japan or Russia with his portable computer and need to work, with
the installed software, in conjunction with local engineers. This is
not a "demo" case; we do it each and every day in our field (electricity)
3) development of applications usinf the Web as medium : writing a correct
user's or administration manual requires a localized interface
