The Globalization subsystem provides the multi-language and multi-cultural capabilities for global use, including: 11 12- **Resource management** 13 14 The subsystem loads, parses, and initializes system and application resources based on device types and system configurations, and provides APIs for obtaining resources such as character strings and media files. 15 16- **Internationalization \(i18n\)** 17 18 The subsystem provides the bottom-layer resource backtracking capabilities, with a wide array of i18n APIs for implementing functions such as date/time formatting, number formatting, phone number formatting, and singular-plural formatting. 19 20 21## Architecture<a name="section1558604311012"></a> 22 23**Figure 1** Architecture of the globalization subsystem<a name="fig1687592425010"></a> 24 25 26 27 28## Directory Structure<a name="section161941989596"></a> 29 30The source code of the Globalization subsystem is stored in the **/base/global** directory. 31 32The directory structure of the Globalization subsystem for the mini and small systems is as follows: 33 34``` 35/base/global/ 36├── i18n_lite # Code repository for the i18n framework 37│ ├── frameworks # Core code of the i18n framework 38│ │ ├── i18n # i18n module 39│ │ │ ├── include # Header files 40│ │ │ ├── src # Implementation code 41│ │ │ └── test # Test code 42│ ├── interfaces # APIs 43│ │ ├── kits # Application APIs 44│ │ │ ├── i18n # C/C++ i18n APIs 45│ │ │ └── js # C/C++ support for JavaScript APIs 46├── resmgr_lite # Code repository for the Resmgr framework 47│ ├── frameworks # Core code of the Resmgr framework 48│ │ ├── resmgr # Resource parsing code 49│ │ │ ├── include # Header files 50│ │ │ └── src # Implementation code 51│ ├── interfaces # APIs 52│ │ └── innerkits # APIs for internal subsystems 53├── cust_lite # Code repository for the Cust framework 54│ ├── frameworks # Core code of the Cust framework 55│ │ ├── cust_lite # Cust framework 56│ │ │ ├── src # Implementation code 57│ │ │ └── test # Test code 58│ ├── interfaces # APIs 59│ │ └── innerkits # APIs for internal subsystems 60``` 61 62The directory structure of the Globalization subsystem for the standard system is as follows: 63 64``` 65/base/global 66├── i18n_standard # Code repository for the i18n framework 67│ ├── frameworks # Core code of the i18n framework 68│ ├── interfaces # APIs 69│ │ ├── js # JavaScript APIs 70│ │ └── native # Native APIs 71├── resmgr_standard # Code repository for the Resmgr module 72│ ├── frameworks # Core code 73│ │ ├── resmgr # Resource parsing code 74│ │ │ ├── include # Header files 75│ │ │ ├── src # Implementation code 76│ │ │ └── test # Test code 77│ ├── interfaces # APIs 78│ │ ├── innerkits # APIs for internal subsystems 79│ │ └── js # JavaScript APIs 80``` 81 82## Repositories Involved<a name="section1371113476307"></a> 83 84**Globalization subsystem** 85 86global\_cust\_lite 87 88global\_i18n\_lite 89 90global\_i18n\_standard 91 92global\_resmgr\_lite 93 94global\_resmgr\_standard 95 96
