This image shows a multilingual Internet application architecture. The image is divided into 3 sections. On the left are 4 browsers, in the center is the server, and on the right is the customer database.

The browsers are for an English locale, a Japanese locale, a Hebrew locale, and a Thai locale. The English locale communicates with the server using ISO-8859-1. The Japanese locale communicates with the server using Shift-JIS. The Hebrew and Thai locales communicate with the server using UTF-8.

The server has a multilingual application with dynamic locale switching, and an Oracle Application Server instance. The server communicates with the the customer database using Unicode.

HTTP is used to communicate between the browsers and the server. Oracle Net is used to communicate between the server and the database.
