You misunderstood "i18n" as just the translation support (and "l10n"
as the translations). Translation is just a category of i18n.
Atsuhito means i18n for the correct character displaying.
Korean (and maybe Japanese) X users often see the Netscape titlebar
incorrectly displays Korean web page title. Many of the window
managers still don't care about this and just draw the raw string with
XDrawString(). The correct behavior is decoding the received compound
strings and drawing the decoded ones with XmbDrawString().
