(LI18NUX is a voluntary working group consisting of Linux and open-source-related contributors working on the internationalization of Linux distributions.)
To further support internationalization, Turbolinux 7 Server is also compliant with the new Chinese code standard, GB 18030, which China has mandated any software application released for the Chinese market after September 2001 support.
Turbolinux 7 Server is based on Linux file directory standards and has passed the FHS test suites.
