Abstract
Electronic availability of data and their usage in various domains have upgraded the importance of internationalization. In general, we could say that internationalization has a syntactic and a semantic component. The syntactic component is relatively easy reached, mostly is supported by tools (software translated to national languages), while the semantic component requires further research in the connection with the cultural dialog. Special attention needs to be paid to data upon which critical decisions are met. In the paper we will focus on internationalization in the connection with conceptual modeling including needs for intercultural dialog integrated into the process of conceptual modeling.
