The m17n library also provides a common interface for users in any written language, common or rare.

The m17n library development team is a member of OpenI18N, the Open Internationalization Initiative of the Free Standards Group, and is working to promote the m17n library as a global standard.

Most of the functions provided in the m17n library are realized as modifications or expansions of the C library and the X library, making it easy for users to add multilingual capabilities to existing software.
