Abstract
Software internationalisation is a way in which software can be distributed to the rest of the world without any change to the software. Besides economic goals, other reasons motivate software internationalisation. A list of factors that need to be addressed in the internationalisation and localisation process is given. Even though more people have access to computers, little is still known about how different cultures interact with computers. An internationalised spreadsheet has been created and will be used to detect cultural differences in spreadsheet use
