International markets are extremely important to Geoworks due to the large number of PCs in use in countries other than the United States. Therefore, localization of applications was made a priority when designing the system software.

GEOS provides a number of tools for localizing your code. The most important is the GEOS application ResEdit, which allows a programmer to edit data resources. When an application is programmed correctly, translation can easily be accomplished by a support team.

The GEOS kernel also contains a number of routines that allow applications to access different DOS character sets. These routines ensure that an English-language program will work on machines with different DOS character sets.
