Globalization as a new paradigm?

Or maybe, an old one that was never properly solved?

One of the LinkedIn groups that I'm in just started a discussion on globalization. (For reference, globalization = internationalization + localization) It sounds like several people have run into trouble with this, including major refactoring of code to even make it possible. Said people are from IBM, MS, RedHat, and Amazon.

I'm going to probe and ask if there were any technologies they used, but I get the impression that there weren't and they had to do it by hand in every case. Sounds like a great problem space....
