For Unicode, go the horse's mouth at
<http://www.unicode.org/standard/principles.html>.
As for locales, there's no standard. Google for "L10N", but prepare for the
worst.
Linux usually relies on the localization support provided through GNU's libc,
which partially implements the POSIX XPG4 standard and partially does its own
thing (which was later mostly backimplemented into the SUS issue 6). If you
find somethings useful in the way of an introduction, post it here.
