 note = {For all the computings placed in strong requirements of multilingual processing, a total multilingual computing environment has been waited for a long time -POSIX Locale model and limited multilingual model have brought serious obstacles. By analyses and generalization of all characters in the world, the first true Multilingual Computing Environment (WASEDA MLCE) [3] was designed and developed that supports any processing of texts in simultaneously mixed all character codesets and all languages (Fig.1). The environment was provided by Global IOTMC System that realizes overall multilingual environment including I/O, interprocess communication, text manipulation and programming languages on a system without any inconsistency. By the discovery of the definition of Character, the kernel of the system named Meta-Converter System [4] not only absorbs dependencies of characters, codesets, languages and others but also realizes generalized text processings with specific information of such dependencies for advanced processing. The interfaces of the system were designed based on Global IOTMC model that ensures backward compatibilities to historic localized models [6,7,8] with mixing all national/international codesets. The environment can provide an application that does not contain hard-coded part for dependencies above. Thus, the system dramatically contributes language educations, databases, text processing, international networkings and so on. Adding to those, the environment provides multilingual natural language processing by generalized text manipulation functions.},
