List

i18n - internationalization/localization
- RFC3066 : codes are selected as recommended in RFC 3066, but can use "_" instead of "-" and lower case for country codes
- selfmade : there is localization, but it does not follow any RFC or ISO 639 standard
PHP
- minimum PHP version that is required
  - software that has a low min required version could have problems in new environments, since PHP is not fully backward compatible
