Thanks for the responses. Here is the list of items that were sent to me, plus a couple others I found. Some of the sites require you to register which I find very annoying. I am just reporting the list of suggestions I received, I am not endorsing any particular doc. I think it will depend on your level of experience and the technologies you use, as to which have value for you. I hope these do have value for you. tex From Kano's book (It is still online, just hard to find.): testing checklist http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/books/devintl/S24B1_g.HTM win32 checklist http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/books/devintl/S24AC.HTM From Tiziana's site: http://www.tgpconsulting.com/articles/check.html HTML/XML Richard Ishida's paper "Localisation Considerations in DTD Design" http://www.xerox-emea.com/globaldesign/dtds.htm I18n specific to XML you can look at: http://www.opentag.com/xmli18nfaq.htm#loc_dtdguide http://www.opentag.com/xmli18nfaq.htm#loc_docguide Examples of problematic XML documents (and workarounds) see: http://www.opentag.com/xmli18nfaq.htm#loc_bad "16 steps to globalising your website" http://www.etranslate.com/en/know/know.T3.html http://www.sapient.com/pdfs/strategic_viewpoints/globalization_a4.pdf http://www.rubric.com/local/handbooks.html http://www.tri.sbc.com/hfweb/marcus/hfweb00_marcus.html http://www.uniscape.com/globalization/whitepaper.html http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/ittasks/plan/sysplan/glolocal.asp?frame=true The 'ITS Requirements' document may have a few things for your list, it's just a draft, but I think it covers some of what you are looking for. After all one of the deliverables of ITS is a set of guidelines.
