Internationalization (I18n) Method Overview

The Write method writes the text representation of the specified value or values to the standard output stream.

For more information see Microsoft's MSDN online documentation.

I18n Issues

The Write method relies on a user's system to be set up correctly and being able to properly display the contents passed through the parameters. There is no guarantee that for example Japanese characters will show up uncorrupted in the console for a North American or European user.

Write(Boolean) - Since this will write a text representation of the boolean value to the console, there is an inherent translation problem here. The recommended fix is to pass in the translated values for 'True' or 'False' instead.

Write(Single) and Write(Double) both rely on the locale being set correctly. For example, if Locale is not taken into account, problems are likely to arise with decimal commas vs decimal periods.
