If anyone knows any good resources on developing internationalized applications for wireless devices, I’d be grateful if you passed them along.
I’m particularly looking for easier ways to demonstrate CJKV (Chinese Japanese Korean Vietnamese, oh and Thai, Arabic and Hebrew too while we’re at it) on web-enabled mobile phones. I need an introduction to things like “How do you input alternate character sets on this device?”, “How will the device transmit the input to the server? What special parsing, if any, is required server-side to process the input?” Specific examples for the Kyocera Smartphone running the Palm OS would be particularly helpful.
Ah, the fun of being the person who’s supposed to be able to explain all this stuff to customers!
I’m not completely sure of what you need, but if you do a search for “localizing” and/or “localizing content” you get a huge return in Yahoo and Ask Jeeves.

you might look into Berlitz Business services… specifically, the GlobalNet services (http://www.berlitz.us/TranslationInterpretation/default.htm). I know that they do software locilazation and translation services. There may be someone there who’s familier with wireless devices, but I can’t say for sure.
