This section provides comprehensive information about the standardized codes for languages, regions, and currencies that are essential for implementing internationalization and localization features in the TMS CAT AI Agent.

These standards are fundamental for implementing robust internationalization and localization features in translation management systems:

• Language Codes (ISO 639): Covers codes like en for English and ar for Arabic, with variants for broader or dialect-specific use
• Country/Region Codes (ISO 3166): Includes two-letter codes like US for the United States and three-letter codes like FRA for France
• Currency Codes (ISO 4217): Uses three-letter codes like USD for US Dollar and SAR for Saudi Riyal
• Language Tags (BCP 47): Combines elements for specific locales, like ar-SA for Arabic in Saudi Arabia
• Locale Data (Unicode CLDR): Provides data for formatting dates and currencies, essential for localization
• Internationalization Tools (ICU): Libraries that help format numbers and dates based on locale

These standards are vital for the TMS CAT AI Agent to:

• Handle Multilingual Content: Properly identify and process content in different languages
• Support Global Workflows: Manage translation projects across different regions and cultures
• Ensure Quality Consistency: Apply appropriate formatting and validation rules based on locale
• Enable Accurate Machine Translation: Provide proper language context to AI translation engines
• Support Right-to-Left Languages: Handle complex scripts like Arabic and Hebrew correctly

For translation management systems, these standards enable:

1. Project Localization: Automatically configure projects based on source/target language pairs
2. Quality Assurance: Apply locale-specific validation rules and formatting checks
3. Translation Memory Matching: Improve TM matching accuracy by considering linguistic variants
4. File Processing: Handle locale-specific file formats and encoding requirements
5. User Interface Adaptation: Display appropriate interfaces based on user's locale

The TMS CAT AI Agent will implement these standards through:

# Example: Language detection and validation
class LanguageHandler:
    def __init__(self):
        self.iso639_codes = self.load_iso639_data()
        self.bcp47_validator = BCP47Validator()
    
    def validate_language_pair(self, source_lang: str, target_lang: str) -> bool:
        """Validate source and target language codes"""
        return (self.is_valid_language(source_lang) and 
                self.is_valid_language(target_lang))
    
    def get_locale_config(self, language_tag: str) -> LocaleConfig:
        """Get locale-specific configuration for translation processing"""
        return LocaleConfig.from_bcp47(language_tag)

 ```javascript

// Example: Frontend localization import { Intl } from 'react-intl';

const TranslationEditor = ({ locale, content }) => { const formatCurrency = (amount, currency) => { return new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { style: 'currency', currency: currency }).format(amount); };
