The best source of this information I've found is the Tru64 book
called "Writing Software for the International Market". It used
to be clearly available on the web. The closest I can come now
to a valid link for it is this chapter:

http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/ARH9YCTE/CHSSFTWR.HTM

There are also some good man pages on the Tru64 system, but you
probably don't have access to one.

I also have a reasonably good paper book on the subject but it's
at home. Will have to look it up later.
